Wheat opened at 81. 14s4 for May, with no
transactions in December or other futures,
which held nominally their former relative
position. An early effort to sell Dredomi-
mated, and prices fell rapidly to Sill, with
considerable business at the decline. Quota
tons came IN lower from other places and
helped to forward the local Decline cutting
down prices in a few moments more to
ST. 1884. Chicago and New York were par
ticularly heavy. The large receipts had no
small effect on the general situation, while
flour was also piling up. The market closed
very weak for bo& cash and futures, with

The amount of the wheat on the sample
tables was not large early in the session. but
samples began to come in later, and buyers
of all classes were amply supplied. Receipts
were 533 cars, and 46 were shipped out.
Duluth reported 25 on track. Sellers were
anxious to dispose of all the grain possible
to avoid elevator charges. but the buying
was not active at any time. and even the
sweeping reductions in values failed to move
the bulk of the offerings. No. northern
sold early to arrive at S11O, and No 2
brought Sl.O2. Local milers were buying
little of the best grade wheat. and some was
also picked up by shippers. but the sample
market was very sick. Car lot sales by sam

FLOUR AND COURSE GRAINS.
Flour--Market Record: The reports of
large quantities of spring wheat Hours in the
East and on the way there has most de
pressing effect on the demand. Nc one is
taking more than enough to keep along with
his daily necessities Mills in the Northwest
have been running pretty freely while they
are able to do so. The month has been es-
pecially favorable for work owing to unusual
mildness. Freezing weather, with the nee
essary Accomplishments of short water sup
plies is to be looked for any day now when
production will be small. But while present
conditions exist there is very small prospect
of active demand. especially with prices rul-
ing above all other competitors in The world.
