The opening was easy at Sill, December,
S1.16, May advancing quickly l2c, with
sales of December S1.1ll2, and May at
Sligo. Chicago was quoted little firm,
and other futures advancing with it. No.
hard in Duluth advanced from S1.17l2, De-
cember at the opening to Sl.l9, within the
first fifteen minutes. There was demand for
hard December at S120, with sales at that.
May ranged at about 5A@5l2c above Decem-
ber. Sample wheat started the day, weak
and lower, but soon recovered the drop and
by noon the demand was fair. The selling
was mostly for outside account, with local
bulls taking the greater part of the grain
offered. The bearish views of Eastern pa
pers produced little impression. Sample
tables were quite well supplied with
the 353 cars of wheat received, but the fall
ing off in the movement had Strengthening
effect on values. Holders found no trouble
in getting Wednesdays prices for anything
good enough to grind. The inquiry from
millers outside Of the city continues good.
with local millers buying futures principally.
Duluth reported % cars on track. The de-
cline in futures Just at the / rs p. m. closing
Wednesday, weakened most grades of sam
pies. There was large amount that had not
been disposed of during the session that had
TO go at 1G2c lower figures during the after
noon in order to give disposition of the cars

Fiour-Market Record: There was more
inquiry to-day for flour from abroad, and
while prices quoted here and there show too
wide a difference yet for much trading. that
difference has narrowed very materially.
There has been an important decline on this
sides, and bids from the United Kingdom
have improved. Prospects now look much
as if the difference may soon be wiped out
and good business spring up. In view of
the decline in wheat mere the feeling in mill
ing circles was less firm, but it is not thought
there was any cutting quotations worth men,
tioniDg to make sales. Domestic business
was dull, as the mass OF dealers bought dur
ing the late excitement to carry them along a
few weeks longer.
