The market was dull for wheat at the
urday's closngs. Later prices again ad
vanced about l2c, making an addition to the
close of the week of 1c. That was the top
for the morning. The visible supply was
ed to 721. 900 decrease for h, week New
York was shade higher eailIy. but did not
advance equal to Western markets, and later
lost even the small rise it did get.
Wheat opened at about 81 .04 for May. and
with some demand advanced to Sl.o4ss and
fell back to S1.O4. AT $l.O4A there were
fair sales. The market rose slowly again
about lac and then fell back to SlO4, with
sales of May No. 1 hard at S1.lS. or l4c
above No. northern. There was another
rise ABOUT 1890, carrying May up to Sl.O4A
sellers. but the feeling was very weak, with
no inclination of standing by the late ''peg-
ging' of this market to &c above Chicago,
and it was quite freely offered at difference
marketing by farmers, but generally there
was little improvement noted. N9ar the
close the market was lirmer and advanced to
Sl.o4s4. closing with buyers at that.
Sellers of sample wheat were asking about
the same prices as on Saturday for milling
wheat, though at first there was disposition
to advance prices little OH the best sam
pies. The tables were loaded with larger
supply than usual, the accumulated receipts
of two days amounting to $50 ears De-
shown by speculative markets, and but little
wheat was sold up to IL o'clock, and gener-
ally at but little change from Saturdays fig
ures. Shipments for the two days were 20

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
to day: Pillsbury and b, Phoenix. Anchor,
WaSnDurn and G., Northwestern, ST. An
tho.Iy and Crown Roller
The added daily capacity of the nine mills
grinding amounts to 17,4OJ bbls, but the
output for to-day will probably not exceed
14.500.
Foreign reports are not encouraging Bak
ers and lower grades have gone out moder-
atey, but the later bids are dropping into a
lower place. AT the prevailing prices of
pat 'utS in the Atlantic states il is impossible
to make the flour net cost of the wheat, by
selling patents there and bakers abroad.
There is small interior order trade that does
rather better, and when they are all scraped
together make pretty good aggregate
ana moves most of the small production now
turned out. Patents, sacks to local dealers,
S6 1006.20; patents to ship, sacks. car lots.
