Flour-Murket Record: The was some in
qUiry for flour from Atlantic points, with
miscellaneous buying from different sections.
The Minneapolis millers appeared to be
standing by their general quotations. with no
complaints of cutting to effect sales. Wheat
was very firm yesterday and advanced
sharply selling up to near the high points on
the recent bulge. There has been for sew
eral days large demand from outside mills,
enough as it appeared to take out the Offer
ings without anything for local use, if the
home millers had declined to pay the prices
With that position to face, it has looked more
like another advance in prices of -four than
like any further decline. Some inquiries
were cUbled here from abroad, but resulted
in few transactions.
