1880 a. IN. No. hard for MAY had advanced
to Sl.31. and regular No. | northern tC
SLICES, with sellers Offering little. The Chi
cago markets followed in the channels
scOoped out the day before, with small bus
mess and light business. Sample sellers
were asking a further advance for milling
wheat, but buyers held off at fist. The
firmneSS of speculative markets helped
prices up here for cash wheat. Local mill.
ers were taking most of the grain, and the
samples containing a good proportion of
hard sold fairy well, but as usual, quite q
lot of them remained unsold at the close
The receipts of 344 ears were about all dis
played for sale. shipments were eighty cars.
Duluth reported thirty on track. Offerings
of oats were liberal and prices weak Fol-

Flour-Market Record: This market was
dull again. so far as new business is con-
cerned. The old contracts were receiving
the usual attention. There are flour dealers
with considerable received and contracted
for ahead of the chief advance, who are sell
ing out below the price millers ask now
which tends to make slow business for
manufacturers. The same thing has been
done before, and when such dealers replen-
ished they did so at the advance. This is
unquestionably bull year, and though there
are in sucn years periods of dizziness with
reaction in prices it is usual that those who
keep their sails squared for the final result
reach the end in better shane.
