Flour-The outward movement now com
priSes the full output of the mills, none
going into store here. This movement is
fairly distributed between domestic and fora
eign points, with little to choose between
them in the matter of values. The millers
are selling freely at the prices current. though
of them they make considerable complaint.

Bran and ShOrts-There have been few
days of weaker prices in these products,l
though to-day there are symptoms of return
ing firmness in both these markets. Some
good country lots have been offered with
about $3.50 the top. Sales of city make
were also at $3.50. Several of the millers
were asking $14. but the bulk of trading
seemed TO be under it. Some asked CSC
higher for shorts than bran, while others
asked the same for each.
Corn-There was fair degree of steadiness
in corn, with 43@44c abont the principal
figures mentioned for samples offered:
mostly inside bid and outside asked
Oats-There was no great amount of stock
offered,as the track lots had been pretty well
cleared up early i'll the week. Sales were at
2S@31c and for good, clean stocks there was
pretty good inquiry.

samples at range of 62@67c, according to
quality.
