In the present absence OF an export demand,
millers find themselves with large stocks OF
-four on hand, and unable to sell at prices cor

But We anticipate during the fall and winter
quite an active demand for -four Of low grades,
through most Of the corn growing region ofthe
South, and wherever the drought OF the past
summer prevailed. Flour will have to be used
to large extent in place OF corn; and this
may hasten the reaction sooner than 1t might
be otherwise looked for At any rate, the
home demand will relieve the market OF pres
sure which, in the absence of foreign demand,
will weigh heavily upon 1t.
On the WHOLE though prices are now very
low-even lower, considering the difference 10
currency, than before the war--we venture 10
express entire confidence that they will be
much better in the course Of few months
