With that gain there was considerable
May for sale, but offerings of july
was scarce, with more demand for it.
There was so little July offered at
times that it was nominal. When there
was trading in it the range was 1l(0$lc
above May. 1t was said in explanation
of the demand for July and offerings of
May, that May longs among the millers
were selling their May and taking July
instead. They had, many of them, cal
culated the capacity Of their mills and
had provided themselves for May de-
liveries to run their mills up to capacity,
but with the small demand for flour,
find themselves over-provided for in
May purchases, the surplus of which
was on the market. But, unwilling to
accept the shrinkage and go out of the
deal, they were paying a premium to
put it over to July, hoping for some
thing to turn up before that month is
due to bring them out in more satisfac-
tory shape. Current receipts are
mainly from line elevator companies
holdings, while the smaller country
buyers are sending in very little.
May opened at o94c and advanced
steadily about 1c, where the rise was
checked with larger offerings, and for
most of the day following changes were
small. There was considerable demand
for July in the morning. May is getting
pretty well evened up and the tendency
is to trade in July instead of opening
new business in the month so soon to
come due. July was 4034c above May
and occasionally the spread was 1c. No.
2 May was offered very freely at 1910
under l northern, but there was not
much demand for it. The range for the
day was about 15c.
The first encouragement for several
days was given the cash wheat market
by an improved demand for milling
wheat, and sales were made at better
prices than on yesterday, The light
receipts have had good effect on buy
ers, ana millers were showing little
anxiety to secure grain. Prices for
grade wheat were about &c higher, ac-
cording to some traders, while others
claimed they could get no more for
anything than yesterday, though they
acknowledged that they were holding
for an advance. Receipts were los cars

ceived 81 cars. Car lot sales by sample:

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Market Record. Flour-The follow
ing mills were running to-day: Pills
bury A and B, Phoenix, Anchor, Wash
burn B and G, Petit, Galaxy, st. An
thony, Minneapolis, Humboldt and
Crown Roller. The added daiiv ca
pacity of the twelve mills grinding
amounts to 22,200 bbls, but the output
for the day will probably not exceed
1890. The market was in no better or
more satisfactory condition to-day.
There is practically no business and
little reason to expect much until the
wheat market rests on more secure
foundations. Holders of flour do not
like to part with their stocks at a big
sacrifice while the possibility of higher
prices exist. Buyers hold off while the
possibilities of lower prices exists.
