On the local board there was some trading
in cash wheat and few lots of May changed
hands at soc. Prices for sample wheat to
grind were about the same as on Saturday.
The opening Of the roads allows the delayed
wheat to come In again. Much of this was
sold to arrive and the offerings on the tables
were not large. Shipments were 29 ears.
Duluth reported ~ cars on track. Some of
the local offerings were carried away unsold

Flour market record: There has been
much uniformity in the price of flour here
since the late break. At the current prices
of wheat and -four it has been impossible to-
manufacture and sell the latter without loss
to the millers of some 10020c a barrel
There are millers here who carried surplus
wheat in the city that cost them less than
.prpSpnt nrippS and from .Sunh .narbap nc fhay
do not make a direct loss, but indirectly they
do, as they could sell the wheat for more
than the product would bring now The
mills. as all millers know, must run or the
proprletOrS suffer greater loss by shutting
down. There are said to be no heavy stocks
of flour, and millers think that with a resto-
ration of confidence flour will quickly arise
to a parity with wheat. Patent sacks to local

cars for grinding by local mills with prices
steady at 46047l2c for samples according to
quality.

strength was shown to-day. At the late ad-
vance TOO much stock was offered and prices
are inclined downward ranging 30@31c for
samples, O. t.

sample at 64@70c according to quality. 1t

bring zoe.

demand, are holding back for break in
prices. Sales $9t@l0.5O for fairly good 10
choice wild.
