q good advance from the start, the first sale
of May being at Sl.2Os4 and December at
81 15l3. No. l hard May sold at S1.30l?,
ana No 2 northern May at 81 Is. About
1890 a. IN. No. hard foT May had advanced
to S1.31. and regular No. ! northern to
los, with sellers offering little. The Chi
cago markets followed in the channels
scooped out the day before, with small bus
mess and light business. Sample sellers
were asking further advance for milling
wheat, but buyers held off at inst. The
firmneSs of speculative markets helped
prices up here for cash wheat. Local mill
ers were taking most OF the grain. and the
samples containing Il good proportion of
hard sold fairly well, but as usual, quite q
lot of them remained unsold at the close
The receipts of 81 cars were about all dis
played for sale. Shipments were eighty cars.

Flour-Market Record: This market was
dull again. SO far as new business is con-
cerned. The old contracts were receiving
the usual attention. There are flour dealers
with considerable received and contracted
for ahead of the chief advance, who are SELL
ing out below the price millers ask now
which tends to make slow business for
manufacturers. The same thing has been
done before, and when such dealers replen-
ished they did so at the advance This is
enthusiastically bull year. and though there
are in SUCH years periods of dizziness with
reaction in prices, it is usual that those who
keep their sails squared for the final result
roach the end in better shape.
