tie short with sales mostly ut 30 to 30c per

with some good lots at 26c per ID. Choice
Western sells readily mt 25 to 26c, but lower

Flour and GrdiH.-The market for flour
is quite dull and remains in tho same unsat-
isfictory state noticed Tor some Time past.
New Hour continues TO arrive moderately
but there is u fair assortment of st. Louis
brands offering. aud 80 Is M extreme price
for this descriptions, and of very slow sale ut
that figure. Choice bakers spring wheat
extras arc scarce, but tho demand is limited,
and with any increased supplies lower prices
would follow. Tho market for the best
Minnesota spring wheats are now close up
to the price of choice white brands. Fancy

sustained. The sales of mixed and yellow

corn now on the way 10 this market is very
limited and we cannot look for any lower
prices at present. The market is almost en-
tlrely bare OF oats and prices have gone up
to fancy figures. The few lots arriving meet
with ready sale, and white and light mixed
are much wanted. We quote brown and
white Mt IS to 05o per bu, but quotations are
entirely nominal. The last sales were at 80
to 00c and Soc for No. and mixed, and
s5c for No. brown. but higher figures arc
asked, and in New York they are quoted ut
