The Improvements in outside markets
were reflected in local trading. and a less
proportion of wheat was carried off the board
unsold than usual of late. A moderate
amount of outside orders were in for milling
wheat and city millers showed more dispo-
sition to buy. Prices were held steady and
some sales were reported at slight advance
cars, with 40 shipped out. Following are re

Flour-There was less inquiry reported to-
day than for q few days earlier, due. it was
in the general wheat markets. MilIers eX-
pressed themselves as not disposed to offer
Hour any lower than they have been selling.
They have been for several days selling -four
at prices relatively lower than wheat With
moderate decline in the latter it would
then be none too low for the former. There
is an active demand for wheat to 90 from
here through the winter wheat sections as
country having light yield. All this ap-
pears to show that prices of breadstuffs are
sharply tending to point from which i'm
portant reaction should be expected. Patents,
