On the local board there WAS liberal
supp ly of milling wheat offered, but the buy

sellers were holding for an advance on the
best wheat. Receipts were $40 cars, with 81
shipped out. Local stocks are expected to
show but little change for the week. Fol-
lowing are the closing quotations: No.

Flour-This market was flat and In spite of
the late drop in prices the demand was
small. Like all other times when prices
have been on the slide down buyers take as
little as they can get along with. The last
few years experiences have educated them
n TO tl,.Orr
rying small stocks. The prospect is that
when the channels open in the spring and
people see stuff moving again there will be
activity in the trade. IL is not unlikely that
the expected spring activity may induce the
laying i'll OF heavier stocks in anticipation of
1t, but there is nothing in sight now that
would necessarily lead to expectation of
much Improvement for a few weeks at least
Prices of breadstuffs are now on the basis
fixed by consumptive demand, which is eat
ing rapidly into stocks, and possible crop ac-
cldents are on the side of higher prices in
the spring. Cables are discouraging with
some inquiries at 2S@12Ss cd for patents and
2S@2Ss Cd for bakers. Domestic figures are
steady. Patents, sacks to local Dealers 81 40

offered on track shipped weeks ago and has
been showed in. Sales at 44@45c by sample.

delivery than that trade can take, giving the
market weak tone with prices tending to a
point where they can be taken for store.

mand was also fair at 64@7Oc for good No. 3
