Wheat: The aggregate trade was not large.

Cotton: Values declined in sympathy with stocks. Trading houses were absorbing contracts, with renewed trade interest in near delivery at the close.

Silver: The market is marking time awaiting the outcome of the Houze vote on Monday on the two Silver Bills.
