Flour-There was moderate request for
flour this morning, but the feeling with buy
ers was weak, and orders limited in quantity
to about such size that would carry them
along for the present. The late tone OF wheat
market brought want of confidence in even
the prevailing low rates. Prices of wheat
had been sustained here until yesterday in
spite of the downward tendency at other
places That market finally gave way to
lower prices yesterday; What the out
come will be in the flour trade remains
an advance and they will hesitate before sub
uniting to a decline. Patents, sacks to local
