Flour-Owlng> to a little strength developed
IN the wheat markets Friday and saturday
there was more inquiry for flour here. Prices
were not improved but sales were above the
iate average IN amount. Scattering sales
have been made at prices lower than quoted
but these are exceptional and do not include
the best patents. Foreign demand is fair,
and since the late drop i'll domestic markets,
average prices are quite up to the prices rul-
ing on this side. There are local mlliers
who would not sell much patents perhaps at
% on the basis of New England delivery,
yet there have been sales below from mills
that are not reckoned as making the hnest
