ure to sell futures and prices struck slightly
lower range, August going at 74A@74l2c
September at 73@73Ac, December at 75A
1850. The trading has gone over. much of
it, to December. The feeling was bearish
until it was reported the Vienna congress-
now in session, estimates the shortage i'll the
wheat crop of the world equal to Is per cent
below the average production, which was
claimed to be equivalent to a shortage of
3OO,OOOO0O bu. The market was materially
strengthened by the report, and although the
shorts at first made light Of it they did con-
siderable buying on the result of it later and
advanced the market nearly l2c, The visible
increase was "a, 900 blu, against 100000 blu
same week last year.
Following are the closing quotations: No.

Receipts of wheat were 179 cars, and SO
were shipped, against lib received and IS
shipped Saturday. Sellers we're asking about
Saturdays prices for all the various grades,
but the early drop in speculative markets
prevented trading early, though the latter ad
vance had good effect. No. northern was
held at 76c, but up to noon only few of the
best lots had been taken. Millers were in
clned to hold off early. Considerable old
wheat is still shown on some tables, and the
best samples Of No. 3 are in some demand.
Local elevator stocks decreased PSI 900 bu
ror the week. Duluth received 25 cars over
Sunday.

meant, old being indicated by the word odd

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAIN.
Flour-The following mills were running
yesterday: Phoenix, Minneapolis, Anchor,
Northwestern, st. Anthony, Pillsbury and
B, Excelsior, Galaxy, Crown Roller Column
bia and Humboldt. The added daily output
of the twelve mills grinding will prob.
ably aggregate 1862 bbls. The flour mar
ket is still unsettled. There have been some
important declines in the market while get
ting in line with the new order of things,
and to accommodate itself to the new wheat
crop with the lower prices it brought. Spot
wheat is higher than September wheat, and
spot flour sales are held on higher basis than
September sales and for october delivery.
While that remains so buyers of
flour are, expected to be cautious of
entering large orders for spot flour
Foreigners are buying a great deal of stuff
for later delivery, but in doing SO are accom-
modating their purchases to the cheapest
time in the crop year. Patents sacks to
