REMARKs-Re Receipts of Flour have largely
increased since our last report, with but light
demand, principally for high grade Extras.

concessions will have to be made, as the market
has tendency downwards. We quote: Supers
7a$7 25; Extras sass 25; Family $3.50, and
choice brands $40 80" Wheat has been very
brisk during the week, but owing to the decline
