THE MARKET.

these figures. @65a
FLOUR.
The flour market presents no new fca.
lures. Prices are strong and firm at
quotations. BUYERS are asking conces-
sions, but sellers refuse TO concede them,
believing that present prices will be |
maintained until after the new crop is |
harvested at least. Many mills are shutting
down for repairs, and many OF them VII
not start up again until the new wheat
commences to come IN. In this condi-
ton OF affairs 1t is the opinion OF some OF
our leading dealers that, no matter WI a.
turn European affairs may take, there
will be great scarcity of choice and
medium grades for the next two or
three months, and that present
prices are likely to be maintained.
stocks on the market are small, but with
the exception Of medium grades, ample
for the present demands of trade. There
is light demand tor mediums at quota
tons. Sales noted were 100 bbls. various
