With only 100 cars Of wheat received here
and sd shipped out the local sample tables
were not very profusely covered. Buying
was not extensive, and the number of out
side orders was less than usual Millers were
holding off for lower prices, but sales were
generally at about the figures Of the day be-
fore, with not all the offerings sold. Duluth
reported 81 cars on track. Following are the

Flolr-Perhaps there was more tone to the
flour market, but the prices were not higher.
Wheat was firmer yesterday, and on that ac-
count more inquiries came in for the product
to-day. The demand at current prices takes
out the current output, and about all the
legitimate cause of complaint on the manu-
facturers' part is that they have to figure too
close to get out even. AS compared with
wheat at milling points, flour is low. The
demand from abroad to-day was good, though
few large sales were made.
