Flour-The general weakness in wheat
during the week has checked the movement
of flour to such an extent that the market

the disposition not to buy has cut off about
all forward selling, There has been a fair
advance in prices of Minneapolis -four

neutl allied by an equivalent rise in freights.

for demand: There was an exceedingly
slight attendance st the board this morn
ing and the bears seized the oppor-
tunity to assume the control of affairs
and were successful in getting quotations in
most of the list off a fraction. The temper
of the room at the opening was still con-
servatively bullish, and the buying orders i'll
the market were sufficient TO raise prices at
the opening from 1s to IS per cent above last
evenings closing figures, but the brokers
with Western connection were free sellers of
the list, and Chicago also had selling
orders in Its specialties The unfavorable
crop news of the day was supposed to be
responsible for this, but the selling was very
concentrated, while the buying, except in
Reading, was scattering all through. Read
ing was run up over l per cent in the face of
q falling market. and its example had some
effect upon the general list, for after the first
half hour the pressure against the list be-
came less, and everything rallied, though a
portion only of the loss was regained. The
dealings in the last hour were small,a pos
seSSed of no feature of interest, and the
changes in quotations i'll the list were for the
smallest fractions and had no special signifi-
canoe. Beside Reading, Delaware & Hud-
son and San Francisco preferred showed
some strength, but the trading in those
stocks was very small and of no influence
upon the market. The close was quiet and
steady generally at small fractions under the
opening figures. The final changes in no case
are for more than fractional amounts. The
railroad bond market was fairly active. the
sales of the two hours session being $685.
900, but there was no special activity in any
portion of the list, while the tone of the deal
ings was strong the changes in quotations
for the day were for slight fractions only, ex-
cept for a few issues. There was gain in
S. d P. tirsts of 2 to to 101, and Pitts
burg 4, Western firsts 234 to 70. Government
bonos were dull and steady. State bonds
were neglected. The total sales of stocks to-
