Flour-Trade was quiet and no improve
ment was noted since last week in the char
ter of the demand. Cables bring orders for both
patents and bakers. but prices are not salts
factory. They continue to drift along, and
while there are no sudden declines, they get
softer. 1t is about as hard TO realize 23s Sd
for bakers as to sell patentsiat 2Ss for deliv-
| cry at the principal British markets. In
order to sell freely to dealers in Atlantic cit
| ies they expect to get lowest possible quota
Bran and Shorts-The bran market con-
tinued firm and active with buyers in many
cases in advance of production to carry some
mills along into another month to ELL. The
| most usual prices are $14 for bran, $14. 25
for shorts, though some mills sell both at the
same prices. The range is Sl3.75@l4.75.
Corn-This market was steady and firm
The low rates of freight from Nebraska
points to Chicago now are taking corn there
in preference and it will take better bids to
bring it this way. Quoted 45@46 for sam
pies o. t.
Oats-The market is firm at 29@31 for fair
to nice sample. There is good demand.
Barley-Still sells pretty we'll with prices
steady at the recent decline; Samples of No.
3 and 4 were he'd at 60@70c according TO
quality.
Flax-sales at S1.3s. ChicagoSl.44
Hay-The market was in pretty good con.
milton ranging at SS.5O@10 for good to
choice wild. Timothy brought about $13
for good stock.
