FLouR--Among all distributors stronger
feeling has been developed to-day and an adj
vance has been taken OF about 25c on all de-
sirable stock. The movement continues chiefly

proportions The forward movement however,
of the product continues rather light and does
not compare well with that Of former seasons
at this date. Quoted terms to-day are about as
