One of the dullest days of the year was
witnessed Ill the PIT yesterday. and at times
for a half an hour at a stretch there was not
q bid made nor an offer TO sell. May wheat
under light demand. There was scarcely
any news from any quarter, and traders are
at sea as 10 the probable movements of the
big operators. The finish was firm at the
tions: No. hard, February, Sl.15; March,
Sill May. Sl.19l2; on track. Sl.l5; No.

Sample Ia lies were well supplied with good
milling wheat again. and buyers found 10
trouble in supplying all wants There was
some looking around for bargains by local
millers, aud few orders were i'll from out
side parties, but the whole amount of cash
wheat did not greatly exceed that of the
previous day. Prices did not show any i'm
provement, sellers at The start expressing
themselves as satisfied if yesterdays prices
less before the close. Receipts were larger
again, 1O4 cars being posted, and 50 were
shipped out. Duluth reported ii on track

4, - I
shorts bid up for it, this relatively gaining
about I2c above others The early spread
between this and Chicago quotations was
about 4s4c, and later the spread was 4c.
The fear of getting too much wheat out that
does not settle was cause of some disquiet.
That is found with long wheat bought from
elevator men ano short wheat sold to mlllers.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
to day: Pillsbury and B, Phoenix, Anchor,
Washburn B, Northwestern, st. Anthony,
Crown Roller and Cataract
The added daily capacity of the 8 mills
grinding amounts to 15,40O bbls, and the
output for to-day viii probably not exceed
12,' 90.
The market was dull and hardly as weak
as YESTERDAY, due TO the buyers being little
stirred up by Yesterdays advance in wheat
prices The buying is mainly from interior
points and of the "cloSe ashore order, so
that with the least excitement all are pre-
pared to take little at any time. The posi-
tion, however, is generally dull and The dis
count on bakers to go abroad was very dis
cOuraging for millers. The production
seems no more than moved, leaving late ac-
cumulations to wait a better market. Pat
