ing was stimulated little, but not all the
offerings were cleared up. Sellers were hold
ing at about Saturdays closing prices. but
some reductions were also offered without

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAIN.
FlOur-There is a steady demand for flour
that takes out small part only of the daily
output ever since the important decline in
production. The buying now Is of the
declining market. each order taking just
enough to carry the dealer along for the
present. The same spread is noticed be-
tween the upper and lower grades. The
upper is moving poorly and the lower not at
all well. The foreign inquiry is nothing yet
to speak of, and it is evident that trade is
quite restful under the absence Of American
product. Patents, sacks to local dealers,
S6.50@6.65; patents to ship, sacks car lots,
81. 4O@6 s.; in bbls, $6.65@6.7 rs; delivered
