not active. There is no improvement In
the condition Of the flour market, and as
u consequence transactions have been
light. Choice grades are little more

any means. The demand, however, is
more particularly for medium and low |
grades, which are very scarce. |
Prices are steady and |
firm. Receipts of hay are very light,
while the supply on the market has been
diminished considerably, and the market
is in a somewhat improved condition.
