Flour Is quiet tho demand from local dealers be-
Ing only fair with we'll assorted offerings. Wheat
| is tame and there is but p slight variation i'll
prices of futures with bearish tone in the mar
kets generally. But the most conservative deal
ers believe that the holiday season has lecn well
| discounted and do not look fer any material
| change in prices during the next few days Corn
| is dull and lower new is arriving freely and the
| bulk of it is very green and damp. Rye and Oats
| are strong Eggs are more abundant than usual
at this season and arc lower. Pork and Poultry
are firm and higher Other proiuc9 is without
| quotable change.
