Flour-The market continued slow and
business was not satisfactory. There is
enough demand to clear up the current out
put but with slow and declining wheat prices
flour buyers ask not only that discount be
made equal to the decline in wheat, but they
want something more to meet the anticipa-
ton of further depression. The production
goes out now asfast as ready, leaving things
in good shape for speedy recovery if
the situation warrants it. A fair amount
of flour is going abroad and at figures
paying quite as well as the bulk of
domestic business. Patents sacks to local
dealers, S4.40@4.50; patents to ship, sacks,
car lots $4,000. 25; IN barrels, $3.50
