WEDNESDAY, Nov. 25.
Flour and Grain.-Flour. Common ex-
tras ARE again Sc per bb higher and scarce,
and for white whuats holders are quite firm
ut the low prices now current. bu; there Is no
excitement in the market and round lots of
white wheat would be rs difficult to place
now us ut any time for some weeks past, if
forced upon the market. Good brands of
Michigan can he bought ut SO, and good and
choice brands Illinois and ST. Louis from 81
To 80 per bbl, while ut this time last year
choice Michigan was selling at $50 and
choice st. Louis us high rs II per bbl, with
an easy money market now and very tight
one last year. At this season OF the wear we
generally look for u good demand from deal &.
ers in the interior, who stock up before cold
weather fairly sets IN, but while this trade is
SO literally supplied direct from the mills,
the prospects of an active market are not
very encouraging. Fancy Minnesota brands
range from $50 to $50 per Dbl. and the lat
ter is IN outside price for the best brands on
the market White wheat st. Louis sells
from G. so to 8 per bbl. and few flvorlte
brands mt an advance on the latter rate I;
white wheat Illinois at $50 to 7; and Ohio,
Indiana and Michigan Mt $50 to Gper Dbl,
with II few well known and choice brands at
25 to $50 per Dbl. Southern -four remains
unchanged and is in moderate demand. The
sales have ranged from TO $50 per Dbl, for
common extras and choice family. Bakers

mand, with sales OF Minnesota Mt $50 to @,

96c per bushol for mixed yellow; and old

Oats. The market for oats is not quite so
firm ut the recent advance, but tho demand

ing ut 70c for No. white.

for quarters. Loose Muscatel at $40; and
London layers at to 4,25 per box. There
is very little stock of Malaga raiSins on the
market. There is considerable complaint
about short weight in Tnisns, but this has
been the case for Mt least ten years, and the
only remedy for the evil rs to purchase by
weight. Some of the imports this year have
been unusually light, and this has again
called attention more particularly TO the
matter. In Valencia raisIns the sales have
