Flour-Demand from jobbers is mainly con-
fined to filling small orders though an occa-
sional heavy consignment is reported
worked for foreign account. The produc-
ton of the mills is shipped out of the city
pretty closely. Prospects of fair yield of
wheat in most sections of the world serve to
hold off buyers of flour. though prices have
seldom been as low at this season OF the year.
Bran and shorts are somewhat improved,
especially for the former, and any sudden
flood OF buying orders would find the market
poorly supplied. Sales of bran range at $3.50
OIL for good to choice makes. Shorts are
held all the way from $lO@12.
Corn-Mosu Of that now coming in shows
some indication of heat, and is slow to sell
as no grade even. A moderate demand ex-
lists for nice No. 2, of which very little is Of
fered
Oats-Receipts are not as heavy as a week
ago, but all wants of buyers are easily sup
piled, and sale even of the best white is
very difficult at anything above 321ac.
Feed-Mixed feed selling slowly at Sligo
10.
Flax nominal at ST. O4. Chicago, S11O.
Barley nominal at 30@50c.
Hay-Market shows some improvement for
No. wild hay, and sales range up to IS for
poor, and sell for $500.
