Flour-The flour market had spark more
of vitality to-day, caused partly by some firm
ness in wheat during the early days of the
week. There was more New England in
quiry. Stocks there are reported very small
and with tirmer wheat market buyers, it is
believed, would take hold more freely. They
are now doing more than week ago. Sim
liar conditions exist in many other sections.
There was more demand from foreign
buyers who are now bidding freely figures
they were timid about naming week
ago. Patents sacks to local dealers,
