The wheat market also opened quiet,

advance was pretty we'll sus-

slightly. the interest centering In Septem-
Der. At the close cash or September was
about 11sc higher than it closed on Satur-
day; seller October very nearly unchanged;
seller November also unchanged; and sell
Ter the year about 1sc lower. Winter
wheat was firm and active, closing
nc higher than Saturday, September
shorts being responsible for the rise.
Spring was also fairly active and higher.
For flour there was q moderate INQUIRY
from shippers, chiefly for good winter, but
limited offerings Of desirable grades of
both spring and winter wheat checked the
shipping trade to some extent. Local
iobbers bought only sparingly. Prices are
without special change, and the market
closed quiet. There has been received here
the past week 6G,644 bushels; shipped 65,-
4F2 bushels. Received for corresponding
time last year 00,596 bushels; shipped
67,146 bushels. This market continues
quiet, and trading hes been to q light
quantity, with the stocks of old -four about
about used up and very little new IS
moving Other than the new winters.
Prices have held up fairly, and better
rate has been obtained for the fine quail
lies, while the Minnesota springs were firm
for the old TO offered lower for the new.
The shipping grades were 10 better than
heretofore, from the fact that buyers re-
fused topurchase at any advance, and were
having light orders at best, and in order TO
keep the trade old prices had to DO allowed
and buyers rather coaxed into buying.
Our trade has been for the finer winters
and few springs to the home trade and
largely on small orders az that, while ship
pers and exporters have been buying spar
ingly of winters and the better springs
and taking low grade stock when it could
be had at shaded prices. Stocks ere light
of all grades and qualities, and the move
ment in and ont is less than heretofore.
Oats were fairly active, but closed a shade
under Saturdays figures. Pork end lard
were moderately active, but irregular.
