PRODUCE AND PROVISION.
Tl. produce trade is less active than for |
several weeks past, but prices, as a rule, are
firm aud steady The previous active demand
from the Northwest and Manitoba having been |
confined more closely to regular limits. There |
has zen a large outward movement in flour
ana wheat, and quite liberal traffic IN corn,
oa.S. ral stuff, cattle, butter, etc.
FLOUR There has been a fair trade from
both ocal and eastern buyers, but purchasers
insist that the lower price of wheat shall b.
counted in the quotations Of -four Values are
all speculative grades. "Superlative" or patent
process flour is held firmly at $500 to SO 20 per
bbl what is known as Straight XAAA, III
