FLouR-we have to report a continuous dull
aId dropping market for -four throughout the
week. The supply on hand, although not heavy,
il nevertheless in excess of the demand, and the
tendency Of prices is decidedly In favor of buyers.

include 10 500 bbls., and exports sum up 1928
bbs. Quotations are nominay S. for suDerfne

treble extra, and tl2 259l4 for choice extra.
CORN The movement in corn has been steady
with moderate demand from the opening to the
close Of the week. Receipts have been light,
however. and with only moderate stock on hand
al any time. the tendency OF prices has been in
favor of sellers. The total receipts footed mp
I6 934 sscks. The actual sales were only 1880
sacks, and the exports were 1912 sacks.
0ATs-lt is hardly necessary to say that the
movement in Oats has been restricted, as the
figures show the smallest sales for any week from
the opening Of the season. AS the supply has
al 40 time been heavy, however, and the receipts
have indicated a steady falling of throughout,
rates have been firmly maintained and the ten
dency of prices al the close Is decidedly in favor
Of holders and sellers. The total receipts for the
week were 6937 sacks. The sales footed up only
1850 sacks, and the ruling prices this evening is
77417sc. u bushel.

Bran from the opening to the close OF the week.
The market was at no time better than partially
supplied, and the inquiry on the part Of purehas-
ers has been generally restricted. Prices have
been well maintained, however. and we still
quote 81 80 y 100 DIS. as the average ruling rate.

sacks and ssles amounted to only 1850 sacks.

market, the tendency Of prices has been uni
formly downward during the week. but without
any quotable alteration In prices. The total
actual Gales comprised only 400 bales. The ex-
ports have been limited to so bales, and the az
gregate receipts footed mp 1900 bales. We.
| however, still quote ordinary at $40, and prime
Western at t20G2l b ton.
