almost stagnant In consequence OF the
bad condition Of samples, which buyers
reject. Flour is In ireer supply, but slow
OF sale, at rates in favor OF buyers. For.
eign flour was weaker toward the close oi
buying. The spot trade was purely con.
sumptive.
- The American attempt 10 raise rates
met with no response here and the season
is too far advanced for speculation 10 In
ilUence the markets. The off coast ira de
is well supplied. The continental demand
has slaCkened, Foreign -four in good
supply, but also dull and nominally un'
changed. American barley dull except
for the finest, which demand must cease
entirely to be slower than at present
Foreign barley Is also dull. In oats the
advance 10 maintained and the provincial
rates well sustained. The demand at the
close, however, was more restricted.
Foreign oats firm. Russian dearer. There
were no foreign arrivals. Maize In small

for the past week were 20,4S4 quarters al
