Chamber of Commerce.

Trading on the local market was moderate
and the 147 cars received were sufficient to
supply the wants Of buyers. Sellers held at
yesterday prices at the opening, but in the
were forced in order to make sales. Very
little hard wheat was offered, but the best
northern. was mostly taken by city mlllers.
Shipments of wheat were "a cars for

Flour-This market was steady with no
new features. The future depends on the
future Of wheat to some extent, though 1t is
probable the demand for flour will effect the
price of grain. 1t is the demand for wheat
to grind that holds up the prices OF wheat
now. May wheat sold here at 78c and cash
wheat sold at 7Sc leaving nothing for carry
ing. That is an unusual state and can be ac-
counted for on no other ground than the active
demand for flour. Any little bull movement
in wheat for speculation would advance both.
