and seller the year about 10. The extreme

vance Samples were in light supply, and

The flour market continues slow, and il
has been difficult to bring about trading
home buyers taking very little, and the
outside call has been particularly light
ever since the new stock began to move
Prices were weak, and most brands have
been offered at shaded prices to sell, and
particularly for the good new winters in
sacks, and for all the sour or off goods
Rye flour dull at $3.75@3.85 per barrel for
good. Bran and all mill stuffs were more
called for and doing better. One of the
leading millers of Minnesota, who owns
twenty-three elevators, writes as follows ia
correspondent here: sOur receipts of
wheat are far below our expectations, and
we can only account for it by judging the
farmers are not satisfied with the price. and
enough are able to hold until they
can get their fall work done, when
they will no doubt market. They are all
busy plowing or thrashing. and in eonse-
quence receipts are small. We have
bought so far at all our stations about 90
600 bushels Of new wheat, hardly enough
to start up our mill. The grade has been
mostly hfty-six pounds in the district, and
a few cars from the Jim river valley 90
| hfty-eight pounds uncleaned. We clean
all our wheat at the mill, shipping it from
| our houses as it is taken in from the farm
ers.''
