were not piled high with offerings. The
weather map was not SO favorable, and own
ers OF the grain were not shading prices any
to make sales. Receipts were 175 ears, with
"a shipped out. Duluth reported 20 on track.

Flour-This market was only moderately
active to-day. The weakness developed in
wheat speculations yesterday had something
to do i'll slowing up trade to-day. The range
of prices asked or bid was not materially af-
fected, but buyers showed more Indifference.
Some of the large concerns complained of
little more trouble to sell bakers others call
ing bakers easier TO dispose of. Foreign
sales were much larger on the earlier days of
the week Interior domestic trade was good,
while for Atlantic ports 1t was dull
