night. The increase in arrivals over
the last two days was the cause of dis
quiet for the bulls, they fearing an in
crease from country elevators to larger
proportions again. During the early
part OF the day country elevator men
offered sparingly, but generally ranged
among tie sellers of MAY.
The opening for May wheat was at
9S1ac, with fair inquiry. The tendency
was downward after the first sales, and
the market fell with few fluctuations
fto'971lc, but rallied quickly from it to
971Sc, and before the noon hour to 97s4c.
There was some demand for July at 1c
above May, with sellers asking frac-
tion more, and but little for sale. No. 2
was offered for May at about 9(0915c be-
low the regular price of No. northern
for the same months. There was very
little hard on the market, and but little
arriving. The demOraliZed condition of
speculative markets had its effect on
samples to some extent, but the cash
wheat market did not experience the
decline to the same extent as trading III
futures. There was good demand for
milling wheat, and the matter of prices
did not cut so much figure as the quail
ity of offerings. Buyers are leaving the
floor daily without having all their wants
satisfied, and sellers refuse to follow
outside markets very closely in decline,
while they take advantage promptly of
any advance. Receipts were 129 cars,
and II were shipped. Duluth received
As. Low grade wheat reflects decline
in futures much more than do the mill
ing grades. Car lot sales by sample

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Market Record.
Flour-the following mills were run
ming to-day: Pillsbury A and B, Phe-
nix. Anchor, Washburn B and e, Crown
Roller, Galaxy, Columbia, Cataract and
Petit. The added daily capacity of the
II mills grinding amounts to 81 200 bbls.
but the output far tomorrow will prob
ably not exceed 1880. The demand
was improved and sales perhaps aver
aged larger parcels to-day, caused by
the SteadinesS in wheat for few DAYS
previous and the renewed confidence
impaired by it. While there is good
deal of flour gathered in larger points
of accumulation, the situation appears
the reverse of it in the interior, where
the policy of buying is from hand to
mouth. The accumulations in large
cities are held for country
millers, under the system of advances
on cOnsigDments, who are waiting for a
favorable time to unload. In the mean
time, the consumption is being provided
for mainly from fresh productions. The
latter arc moving fairly. Patents,
sacks, to local dealers. s6.1O@6.2O:
patents, to ship, sacks, car lots $3.50
@6: in barrels, S6.10@6.15: delivered
