FIour-There was a continuation of yes
terday dullness in the flour market. With
the advance of wheat yesterday there came
TO the mlllers announcement of being able
10 maintain prices at the present level. If
Wheat , should go permanently lower
follow. Flour buyers say of the mill
ers that after selling all the flour they
could, few weeks ago, to jobbers. they then
plugged ful! every hole open for consign-
ments that 1t could be run into. Now they
say mlllers must wait until both are cleared
away before there will be active demand. The
claim is that the same conditions exist at
the chlet cities in the United Kingdom and
local dealers $40; patents to ship, sacks,
car lots S4.30@4.40: in barrels. S4.50@4. 60; ;
