The first sales were at 81 .O6 May. with con-
siderable inquiry and fair trading at that
and 1sc under, the figures alternating at first,
but later falling below. The sellers were
not very pushing at any time, yet the mar
ket settled down with small fluctuations to
S1.O5A about 1915. After the first .pur
chases buyers were slow and there was little
life. If party wanted to trade either way
at the market there was very little trouble to
get accommodated, but there was no activ-
ity on either side. The sample tables were
better sold off to- day than at any time before,
and that gave futures better standing.
The close was frmer at $1.05H2 May.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-There was no important demand
for important flour to day. The usual num-
Der of interior orders were here to be filled,
but bidders for large lots wanted them a lit
tie cheaper. There were bids from New En-
gland for the finer brands of patents at $500
that were refused, holders asking 81. Local
millers insisted they were not offering any
lower since the decline i'll wheat saying
their figures had been too low for wheat be-
fore. The prospect favors good buying as
soon as the present uncertainty is cleared
