distribution of flour was noted for domestic
consumption and there were fair exports.
Sales continued of the small order character,
with inquiries for larger quantities. The lat
ter were generally inquiries. only, not being
followed up by orders. Unfavorable wheat
markets have for several days acted against
flour and, while quotations are fairly sus-
taided, sales have been made below them for
both foreign and domestic account Whether
cuts will run into open quotations will de-
pend largely on the wheat markets. If they
stay down, or worse, go lower, flour will
necessarily follow.
Bran and Shorts-Bran sold we'll at S13. 25
@13.50. with some asking $13.75. Shorts
