| Flour is quiet and easy with dealings mainly
confined to well-known brands and high grades
| Wheat is again lowar and the decline has been
constant and obstinate in all markets, reaching the
lowest figures yesterday for many years for both
spot and futures at this season. Soft and Wheat out
of condition, is neglected and only good sound
lots command fair figures. Corn is steady. Rye
is firm. Oats are quiet and lower. There is no
material change In produce, but We note sales of
all prime lots at full quotations.
