There was little show of buying at the
opening of the board Saturday, and sales of
May were $1.0SA. More came out at that
than was wanted, and values tell off steadily,
with large trading. When the market struck
ST. OF there was considerable wheat came
out, with little check after the decline. 1t
did not hold there long before another de-
cline followed, and prices went quickly to
81 OGIa and then to Sl.O5l2, and rallied to
S1.O5a4. This market fell N ore rapidly than
most others, narrowing the difference about
1lac. The aggregate receipts here and at
Duluth were rather larger, but that
close wheat advanced to sl.o64 May
then dropped to 81 .O5A fiat: 10000 bu May
wheat sold at $l.0S34; 20.OGO bu May.

Holders of sample wheat were extremely
worried to find purchasers tor anything in
their line all this session. The marked weak
ness in speculative markets, and the appar-
ent little demand for cash stuff that has ex-

the market to-day. A few sales of grade
wheat were made early. and q nice lot Of No.
/ sold at Sl.OS. Some sales of No. were
reported at 95c, but the limited demand was
soon satisfied, and sellers were compelled to
carry away the most of the stuff unsoid at
the finish. Receipts were l21 cars. and 46
were shipped out Duluth reported II cars
on track. Local elevator stocks are expected
TO decrease about $4,000 bu for the week.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour Market Record-The late weakness
in wheat has shortened the demand for large
lots of flour, changing orders that were be-
ginning to be liberal in size, to the old style
of taking broken or small lots. The differ
ence is more in appearance, with respect to
final results than in reality. The consump-
ton is probably no greater in the one case
than in the other. Purchases of half the
size have TO be renewed in half the time.
Prices were very well maintained on the
basis of about 81 for patents delivered at
New England points, and $3.50 at New
York points. There was some call for ship
ment to Atlantic coast points. But sales were
less liberal than earlier in the week.
Patents. sacks to local dealers Sc. $4,000;
$50; in barrels, S6.35@65O: delivered at
New England points, $7@7. Is; New York
points, S6.9n@7.O5; delivered at Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, $6.S"@7; bakers here,

Bran and Shorts-Some miilers asked $40
for bran, while others sold at 1915, with
shorts at 5000 80, ard market quiet.
Coril-The corn market was steady. with
about as much offered as wanted, and no
great pressure to buy or sell. Feed corn
brought 2s@29c, and choice was held at
oats-Quiet at 22@27e. all by sample, with
demand only from local feeders and re-
tallers.
