Flour was again quiet and steady. There was
no pressure OH tho market either way. Export
ers bought very spaaingly, and local purchasers
wete few, as the weaker fooug on wheat made
them hold OF. On the other hand, some dealers
wore asking an advance Of l6@D26o per brl,
chiefly on fayorite brands, claiming that tho al-
| dltion in price wRs moro than warranted by the
recent rise iu wheat. Bran was nomiually un-
