Chamber of Commerce.

On the local board there was fair demand
Tor the best grades of milling wheat, and
some lots were sold a fraction above the
prices of the day before, though the bulk Of
sales were at about the same prices. Local
mlllers were taking hold in a small way, and,
Witha little assistance from the outside buyers,
the limited offerings were quite well cleaned
mp. Receipts were 162 ears, with Al shipped
cut. Duluth reported ~ cars on track. The
close was weak at l2c decline. Following are

Flour-The flour market had more tone and
the local feeling was improved in sympathy
with the change started yesterday in prices
OF wheat. The decline was checked when
patents reached S., delivered at New Eng
land points. There are a few millers that
have not sold any as low as that, but it has
been for the reason that they have not sold
much at any price since quotations touched
that figure. There were some sales of flour
abroad but generally our millers declined the
bios. They offered bakers at London at 24s
quite freely and there were sales OF patents
at 2Ss Sd and 28s I'd at Glasgow in 2SO-lb
sacks. More inquiry was reported at domes-
tic points but bidders were asking
for it at the lowest rates touched.
