With the exception of cash dealings trade
was light. There was some trading in tut
ures early in the session at 81 .115SG11. 117s.
The pit traders were few in numbers, and
those present were not disposed TO do much.
No quotations were received from anywhere
except from New York, and that exchange
adjourned early with the l2c decline from
Saturdays closing price. At ~ o'clock moth
ing had been done in any other futures than
No / northern for May. The cold wave sig
nal was up and had supporting influence
on futures. neutralizing what was otherwise
bearish feeling. $4,000 bu May sold at
SIll,s; 10000 bu May, Sl.11s4: $4,000 bu

The two days receints of 400 cars made
fair showing on the sample tables but there
was great scarcity OF buyers and but little
trading was done. A fair number of local
force of habit than any desire to buy. Some
few lots were picked up at about Saturday
prices, and one or two sales of good wheat
were made shade higher. In the absence
of any speculative markets there was light
attendance on change, and the estimated re-
ceipts of 800 cars for Wednesday encouraged
buyers TO hold off. Car lot sales by sample

FLOUR AND COURSE GRAINS.
Flour-The market was steady but slow.
Under any ordinary conditions It has always
been slow during the holiday week, and the
peculiar conditions existing il is necessar-
lily so now. The Milwaukee convention en-
phasized the fact that millers think wheat too
high and that the meeting was primarily to
effect reduction. The natural conclusion
of flour dealers is that reduction in wheat
prices means as well, reduction in -four
prices ana are very probably waiting for 1t.
The expected sometimes is not realized. In
this case there is some waiting for 1t.
