Flour-The market was slow to-day, pre-
sumably due to some extent to the decline
that began yesterday in the wheat market.
The feeling among milIers was not all one
way. They all feel that they cannot afford
to stand further drop, but some are really
bullish for the future. The figures sent here
from foreign markets were no higher and
some bids were lower even. They were not
accepted and counted for nothing, excepting
as they reflected the views of buyers. DOmes-
tic markets were not at all active. There
was some buying by small dealers and bids
for fair amounts were received, though
to local dealers, $4. 1904 so; patents to ghip.
