The change to fine weather in England
and the continent, the stock panic in New
York and the increase of grain are among
the reasons given for the present check
upon advancing prices, the ''strike" is also
credited with being an unfavorable feat
ure.
Flour---The feeling remained very firm
with the tendency rather upward in prices
quoted; Patents $6.25@6.75; straights,
$5.35@5.75; clears, $5.OO@5.35; low grades
S2.00@3.00. There was good demand
for low grade for export.
Wheat---The offerings were about as mea-
gre as before. There were a few small
lots of No. 1 hard offered at ST. Is, with
$1.14 bid for spot in store. There were no
offerings of No. hard. There were buy
ers for it at 81. 10, and it is probable a
little higher could have been obtained if it
had been offered. Some sample lots were
sold at 90@ $1.O0, three cars sold at 81. 90
There was some trading in No. hard for
future delivery; 10000 bushels seller the
year brought $1.0O.
Corn---There is but small trading now
in this cereal. There is No. 2 for sale at
49c, and it is bringing that when a buyer
can be found.
Oats--Are rather dull on a basis of 28c
for No. 2.
Hay---There is now but little call for
good wild hay at $7@S per ton. The
amount of loose on the street is so large,
giving a small demand for baled.
