Chamber of Commerce.

There was a very good demand for May
wheat at about 81. 10l2@1. 1tss through the
session, but the offerings were light except
ing at something higher, resulting in light
business. Buyers were stimulated by rather
better demand for cash wheat OF the higher
qualities, while the small arrivals OF contract
wheat made the sellers Of futures on 1t eau
tiOuS. Flour men were more confident ana
that aided local confidence in wheat. Other
points reported very small tradingin futures.
which feature seemed sympathetic all
around. The want of activity resulted in
little fluctuations. Near the close prices
The May future sold down quickly from
Sl.lU5s to S1.U9l2. with active trading to the
close, and a small rally to Sl.C954 bid.

claimed that all the wheat arrived had not
been reported and the feeling among traders
was not bulled any by the small showing.
Some ontside millers were picking up little
wheat to go to Minnesota and Wisconsin mills
but the local millers were not taking any
wheat. Prices did not vary much from yes

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-Flour prices are firmly held and
the demand is growing in the number OF
orders received as we'll as in the amount
called for in each. Atlantic coast sales, that
had become so rare an event, are picking up
well and the amounts taken shows renewed
confidence in the ultimate results. Mlllers
found it better to shut down their mills than
to run on and sell flour below cost. That
fact with the steady standing of wheat values
has encouraged buying that promises
brighter future

Bran and Shorts-The demand was slow
with milers asking about S9.750l1O for CON-
mon bran and about 50. 25@9 rs for common
shorts. The production was not large and
yet the inquiry was met.
Corn-The corn market was steady with no
demand to speak OF excepting for local con-
sumption. Sales of sample cars were made
at $50 3Ue, with very choice held at 3l@33c.
Oats-The samples offered were very differ
ent in quality and ranged in prices obtained
from 22@27c, and some choice lots held
little above.
Barley-The barley inquiry was pretty fair
for nice samples of No. 3 at 50@55c. Better
lots would be salable if they we've here.
Fiax-Quoted at S1.56. Chicago 81. 81.
Hay was weak with sales of choice at So,
with fair to good at $45005.5O.
