Flour-The market was firm to-day and
bids on the basis of previous sales were in
many cases refused, the rise in cost of wheat
justifying better flour figures. Whether an
important advance in flour can be secured
will depend largely on the .permanence of
the wheat rise. The demand is good and the
sales could be made large by accepting the
views of buyers. There are times when con-
cessions do not seem to make demand not
so now. The product is wanted. but close
competition keeps values down. Sales of
5000 to 10000 barrels day can be made
without special effort to go abroad, and the
remainder of the local product is now
wanted to meet domestic trade.

and consequently prices are easier at S13@

rivals held at 45@46c o. t.

range of samples at 29c for fair mixed to SIC
for choice white. Clean white held for seed
at 35c.

satisfactory prices not easy to get as the de-
mand is quite moderate. No. samples are
