sample market and while the blackboard
showed an increased amount of wheat COM
the late average in amount. There was
little rush early by those who prefer to pick
out their grain from the first and pay more
attention to the qualities of their selections
than to the prices thereof. Later it was
found that the inquiry did not hold up and
the market grew dull In consequence. Good

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Market Record-Flourr-The following
mills were running to-day. Pillgbury A,
Phoenix, Petit Standard, Columbia, Wash
burn B and c, Crown Roller, Northwestern,
grinding amounts to 21,55O bbls, but the
output for to-day will probably not exceed
$4,000. Flour moved out steadily, but not
II volume enough to keep al mills running atnn:
kept on hand at many different places, re-
ported some large sales, but others running
on current business only, found the situa-
ton discouraging. The explanation is that
flour jonbers and retailers are r,onsas car
often, SO the miller that carries suitable
stocks gets the trade, for he is able to meet
their immediate wants, and they have no
others. If each buyer took large quantity,
and contracted it for forward delivery there
AS it Is, the -four that is handiest is liable to
be picked up first. The market was
steady in prices. Patents, sacks to local
dealers 4o patents to ship sacks
