Local receipts of wheat for the past twenty,
four hours were 10S cars. with 20 shipped
out against 80 received and 20 shipped
yesterday. The demand for cash wheat was
good and continued active most OF the ses-
sion. The general range OF prices was ABOUT
the same as yesterday. Some good mining
wheat went TO outside mills. but the bulk OF
1t was taken by home millers. Elevator peo-
pie were looking ON. but doing little, as the
prices paid were above their views. Low
grades we're in rather poor demand. Al.
though our home millers were taking most OF
the good wheat many of them claimed that
the prices were about &c too high for milling.
and that -four made from il would not pay
the miller profit. AT the same time they
were buying pretty freely, with good deal
only 81 cars, making the combined move
ment go cars.
