Flour-The -four market renamed steady,
with no further cuts in prices. There is a
disposition to advance from the present basis
and with little encouragement in wheat mar!
kets millers would probably hold for better
figures. About the best bids from British
buyers were 2Ss Sd to 2Ss Sd for best patents
and for bakers 23s Cd to 24s. Receipts of
wheat are now larger than last week, as the
showed up roads are opened, but they are not
large enough to bring down prices to allevel
with surrounding towns. For that reason
-four is produced and sold Ewithout profit,
taking the ruling figures of each. Patents.
