St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1889-04-01

made up by the Market Record,
amounted to 1,246,00O bushels for the
month of March, leaving 5,2lO,0OO
bushels against 6, 156. 900 bushels year
ago. Other markets came in reported
dull and declining, which took away
the feather edge, and buyers were less
aggressive again.
May wheat was dull at 99c on the
opening of regular board with July at
$3.50. Buyers were slow and SELL
ers being aggressive, prices were
crowded down to 9S1lc May, but later
advanced to 9S$4c, then eased off frac-
ton again and pr ces sold off in SYM
pathy with lower quotations from other
places. About so cars were left over
from the receipts after deducting ship
ments while the mills were using nearly
twice as much daily. Flour continued
slow. The appearance of the sample
tables was not different from that of the
past few days and the market for cash
wheat throughout the session pursued
about the same course. Up to IL o'clock
there were a very limited number OF
cars bought, a few being taken by both
local and outside millers. There was
no change in values of any grades, and
the few lots of northern wheat offering
seemed as difficult to sell as the low
grades. A few cars of off grade stuff
were picked up to go to local mills, but
the usual Saturday inactivity was the
only pronounced feature of the market
Receipts were al cars. and GO were
shipped. Duluth reported on track,
Toward the close of the day sellers were
offering some of the wheat at lower
prices in order to effect sales. Estimates
on local elevator stocks show probable
decrease of $4,000 blu for the week.

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, North
western, Palisade and Humboldt. The
added daily capacity of the eleven mills
the output for to-day will probably not
exceed 1880. The demand was no less
than for some time past, and still it was
too light to remove. on fresh orders. the
days output of local mills. There is a
kind of go-as-yOu-pleaSe in prices, but
it is not admitted that any severe cuts
are made. The reason of it is that cuts
in prices now are luXuries that cannot
be indiscrlminately INDUCED in at the
high cost of wheat. 1t was found the
agreement to maintain minimum prices
W as not strictly adhered to, and such
practices prevailed in the way of con-
tidential sales that,on becoming common
property, they broke up the agreement.
