Flour-There wasn't much inquiry for -four
to-day, with business unsettled and hesitat-
ing. The unsettled wheat market has greatly
assisted in making trading unsatisfactory
either buyer or seller choosing to wait for
more certain results before contracting
largely. Millers are asking more money and
buyers that had run ashore for stocks have
been paying an advance and some others
bullishly inclined have done SO. but more
have been waiting for turn in their favor.
