FLOUR-We quote: Best city extra, 81 25d5
medium, s. 5094 shipping supertine, s. 700
3 80 q Dbl.
WHEAT-There is no quick movement. The
tone of the market is OF soft character, and hold
erS are not disposed to sell readily when values
show declining tendency. Exporters viii pay
81 ~ z ell for the better class of shipping but
the demand is not urgent, apparently, aad large
quantities could not be quickly placed at the
above figure. Offerings are somewhat slim, and
there does not seem TO be any pressure to re-
alize. Holders incline TO the opinion that values
will recover more or less as the season advances

buyers operate in very limited way, and sell
ers find it rather difficult to secure custom for
iobbing parcels. The better class of new feed is
held at 81 40 q ctl with no disposition at the

quality can be bought at 81 30@1 So p ctl. In
