Not much was offered on the local sample
tables and sellers were able TO get the prices
of the day before without much difficulty
Buying was chiefly from outside parties, city
millers taking very little to sort up stocks
No improvement is reported in the flour
market. Coarse grains are easier and hay is
quoted weaker. Feed is steady and bran
firm. Following are the closing quotations:

Flour-Market Record: There was fair
inquiry for flour and prices were pretty we'll
+ held arthe decline. At the same time there
was considerable difference between the
sales have been made in the last three days,
with buyers now asking further reduction lin
view oflthe last decline in wheat The claim
is made that the low price of wheat abroad is
due tothe low figures American -four can he
bought at. Wheat on this side goes down in
answer to reduced prices of wheat in British
markets, and flour here goes down with
wheat. The causes assigned follow each
other i'll circle. Perhaps the true reason of
low prices is that more is offered at present
than there is any pressing demand for.
