With fair exports and lighter receipts here
than on the day before, local sellers of mill
ing wheat were inclined to hold prices firm,
but the limited number of buyers kept the
market very dull. Some traders claimed it
to be the dullest day for month. First
prices were steady. bat later some lots were
shaded to sell. Receipts were 40 cars, with
40 shipped. Duluth reported 90 received.

Flour-Market Record: The demand for
flour was poor. The cause of it the millers
charged to the unstable Wheatmarkets. When
wheat was advancing sharply month ago,
then it was the disturbance of prices by it
that they thought made flour dull. When
prices were receding, that recession WAS
called the reason of dullness. The real
trouble is that there has been more flour Of
fered than there IS immediate demand for,
and the anxiety of many to sell has led them
to cut prices below the point that leaves de-
cent profit. Millers are much like other peo-
pie i'll that,Tflther than curtail their own pro-
ductlon, they would Try 10 freeze out their
1leighbor, and buyers. in order to squeeze
their competitors. are willing to accept as
slstance from that source. Foreign buyers
were asking lower terms and generally bid
ding 22s for London. Patents, sacks
