Flour-There was moderate demand for
flour to-day, and in view of the fact that re-
cent declines of wheat have dulled the pre-
Vlous higher expectations, the movement
may be called good. The position of local
milling is quite satisfactory, and millers do
not appear to be inclined to cut prices They
have forward contracts enough, with current
orders for prompt delivery, to keep them
fully engaged 10 meet such demands with
out pushing for new business at this time.
Bakers are less active than patents, and
whatever crowding there is now is in these
There is good supply of wheat, row
brought forward by the high prices, and as
able to put 1t in good condition, it is not
not hard TO maintain the excellence of the
standard for flour. Patents, sacks to

Bran and Shorts-The bran market was
steady and the demand fair though produc-
ton is large. Sales ranged mostly between
S10.5O@11 for bulk bran. Shorts, SI1.5O@
1925.
Corn-Showed no new features and a few
cars only wore handled at 3S042c for the
range of samples.
Oats-Light weight oats were slow to sell
and receivers of such were discouraged at
thelow bids for them. Good heavy lots went
better. The different samples ranged from
23@30c.
Barley-Good heavy, sound barley. though
a good deal stained sold at about SOC, with
brighter ranging from that TO 6O065c, the
latter for exceptionally fine, and poorer
down to 40c.
