hope that the only effect cf .hoir opposi-

on glassware, 65 per cent. On salt, so to

have to work ut least three days to OBJ.

Dull Times An the EIour Mills.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, July l2.--The North
Uestern Miller, in its issue tomorrow will say
Extreme dullness and inactivity continue to
characterize the milling business, the present
week being even little more OIL than usual.
The production of flour by the mills in this
city will be comparatively light, hut fully
large enough to suit the views of our millers.
On Tuesday there were twelve mills in opera
tion, the production averaging about 10000
barrels per day, against 1900 barrels last
week. The latter low figure resulted from
the week containing a holiday. The flour
markets are less favorable than a week ago,
there being comparatively no inquiry from
abroad. They were picking up to some ex-
tent at the close Of last week, but were again
greatly depressed by the break in wheat in
Chicago. The wheat stored in the Mime
apolis elevators, including the transfer eleva-
tor, July 10 was ,262,OO0 bushels. There
were about 475,000 bushels in the mills,
making the total amount of whoat in store in
the city 1,737,000 bushels, against l,575,000
bushels last week. The wheat stored at ST.
fanisis about 2ls,0O0 bushels. The wheat in
store in the Duluth elevators is 33O,03l
bushels
