the Southwest and in the Ohio valley is mainly
responsible for the late hardening values.
The retarded movement is caused by wet
weather which would indicate that the cause
of firmness is only temporary. The North
west crop damage has been freely used by
the bulls and tine further talk of it brings
something like derisive smile. The visible
supply is small but promises to hold out
even with delayed marketing of new wheat.
The remainder of the old wheat is high, not
for lack Of supply but chiefly because it is
under control.
The market for wheat futures was very
dull, with few outside orders and little dis
position by local operators to do any bust
ness. There was little news of a character
to encourage buying, and the uncertain con.
ditlon of the Northwest crop leaves those
who would be expected to take the selling
side in conservative mood. The common
opinion placed the crop prospect equal at
least in yield to thatof last year, with quality
expected to be much better Still the une-
quail conditions of fields all through leaves
with the best posted people much of uncer-
tainty. Some July sold at 96c with Septem
Der and December mostly nominal at about

nominal at see. Following are the closing

Sellers of cash wheat were asking more for
their grain at the start, and most early sales
were made at an advance of nearly cent on
No. wheat. No. 2 northern sold at better
figures also, though the advance on this
grade was perhaps not more than l9c. The
inquiry was fair from both local and outside
millers. and most of the sales were to this
class of buyers. Millers were talking more
encouragingly regarding the flour market,
and receipts of new wheat here were not so
large as to alarm the bulls. Bad crop news
encouraged buyers of wheat, especially of the
grade offerings. Off grades moved slowly,
though there was some trade in all kinds.
Receipts were 1872 cars and 81 were shipped.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
yesterday: Pillsbury A, Phoenix, Humboldt,
Petit, Minneapolis. Palsade, Holly, ST.
Anthony, Galaxy, Excelsior, Northwestern,
Washburn A, B and c, Cataract Columbia
and Crown Roller. The added daily output
of the seventeen mills grinding yesterday
will probably aggregate %, 225 bbls.
The remainder Of the spring wheat crop is
we'll held, both as wheat and -four The de-
mand for the latter promises to exhaust the
former. At least that is the way the owners
of it calculate it. and If their figures correctly
reflect the situation, then the probability is
that flour of the spring patent variety will
not fall much below present prices before
sidering the high prices, though the high
character of the new winter wheat promises
some inroads upon the territory for SO long
occupied by spring before new spring is fit TO
