THE FLOUR MARKET.
The market is improving in extent OF de-
mand, not in larger orders particularly, but
in a general widening of the area wanting
small lots There are orders for lots of less
than carload coming in, and these come
from dealers that usually buy from two cars
to ten cars at q time. They have all heard OF
the flour glut, and waiting for the full effect
OF 1t in cheapening prices, and are pleclng
out and sorting up until after the Jan l set
Elements are disposed of New England is
beginning to buy more and some New OrK
towns are buying moderately. The market
is not active, but it is less stupid by consider

EXAGGERATED FLOUR STOCKS.
Market Record: There exists il the pubic
mind serious error relating to stocks of
-four in this country, east of the Rocky
mountains, as compared with former years.
Instead of there being more flour at the
principal points of accumulation than year
ago, it is evident there is less. Oct L. 1857,
the stock, according TO Bradstreets computa-
ton, was ,01S,256 bbls. The next state
ment was made Jan. l. and showed 2.O36,-
442 bbls. Oct. l this year there were 1,O39,-
O69 bbls i'll stocks, and Dec. l there were
1.91O.5I5 bbls in stock. and not 2. 491 40
bbls, as stated by Bradstreets.

Bradstreets' error. ............. 5e0,9Oo
The comparisons are made against Jan. 1,
as there was no statement compiled Tor pee.
l wear ago. 1t is well understood that flour
stocks do not usually accumulate in Decem-
Der: that they did not last year, and that
with the amount of milling capacity shut
down now. and that will probably remain
down till January, there is not the slightest
prospect of all increase during December
this year. Instead of flour stocks. at the
chief points of accumulation in this coun-
try, being greater than year ago, they are
less. AS Bradstreets' figures are the ones
used to show the increase. Bradstreets' tig-
ures are used to show where the error is,
which consists i'll making the sum of the
foregoing totals for Dec. 1, 2.491 ,425 instead
of ,910,525 that it should be. What was,
perhaps, the blunder of clerk, has made
the editor of that paper. accepted as author
ity, say: "Stocks of wheat flour are the larg-
est noted since these records were begun,
amounting to 2.491,425 barrels, against
1,761.55S barrels on Nov. 1, gain of 49,
900 barrels-41 per cent
Instead OF that being true. after correcting
some errors in his additions for Nov. 1, the
increase in stocks from then to Dec L, is
from 1858, 506 bible to l. 91O,525, or about 3
per cent. not Il per cent, as he states Ana
as compared with Jan. l, ''since the records
were begun, computation shows that the
average stocks on Jan. 1, each year, from
1885 to this time, is l. 935, 09o bbls, against
1910, 52t Dee. l. this year. or that stocks Of
flour are now 24,565 bbls under the aver
age on the date named. The stocks Jan. l,
1887, were 2O24 ,69o bbls and Jan. 1, 1888,
2,o36 442 bbls, or 1851 bbis larger year

with unusual ferceness, charged with
the sand of the great Sahara, and with
millions and millions Of locusts. In a
few days the whole country was covered
with these pests. Their rayages are ter

contained sixteen millions, are dying for
want Of nourishment, and a femme is
threatening the European colonists. The
