There was a small amount of wheat offered
on the sample tables and prices did not vary
much from those of the day before, with a
good demand from millers and shippers for
the best grades. May wheat was lower, bids
being made at l2c below Tuesdays selling
price. Receipts were 1S6 cars and shipments
IL. Duluth reported 16. Shipments from
here are light, owing to the difficulty expert
enced by railways in moving cars around the
snowy. yards. Following are the closing

FlOur-There was moderate domestic in
quiry for flour reported by millers, but not
much is expected from abroad this week.
Wheat was higher IN the local market to-day,
and millers talked stiff on their holding
prices of flour to match. Foreign markets
were working up toward ours before the
holidays, and some patents sold to go there.
Business is not expected from abroad before
next week. The mills here are turning out
bly, be the average for the winter. Patents
are doing well as compared with other
grades. There was some talk of putting
higher quotations on flour to-day, but as
there was very moderate selling al old figures
there seemed to be no necessity of making
them higher, as a few bidders only were up
to the present ones.
