There was reported decrease of wheat on
passage but reports as to the amount of the
decrease did not agree well. There was an
alleged conference held in Chicago a few
grams from there Monday said the agree
ment was to shave prices to S1.o5 this week
and to 81 % finally. When these tips were
given out the price of May then was ST and
above but this price declined to 97c. The
market opened at .S1.04s4 May and held
steadily there or about Ac, with unusual
dullness. The receipts were not large
but there was no real activity
to the demand and the volume
of future business as well as that
at other places were weak and moved in
parallel with this. There were few buyers
of No. northern, and one lot sold at csc.
Toward the close there were few fresh
very very weak at si.o3ls for May. 10000

There was falling off In the demand for
milling wheat again and the hopes of sellers
were dashed to the ground. Prices ruled
lower again on all grades and the total sales
were considerably less than on yesterday.
Outside and city millers were dividing the
little wheat taken between them, but sellers
carried good share of the offerings away at
the close unsold. A few lots of low grade
wheat were disposed of early. but the bulk
of the trading was near the close. Receipts
here were 90 cars and AZ shipped out, Du-
Iuth reported &c cars on track. To-morrow's
estimate of cars is 10. Prices were unsettled
all through the session with the tendency to-
ward weakness. Car lot sales by sample:

"a FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The market was steady. and more
inquiry was noted. Prices were on pretty
solid foundation, and milers less disposed 10
listen to claims for concession. There is
small output, but that is all that appears to
be needed at present. The demand has mar
rowed within the last four months to limits
that are provided for with a small output.
