10 MAKE reasonable working margin to sell
| on again.
About 80 there was rush to buy and
| the market was pushed to an advance of I2c.
| but the excitement was temporary and buy
ers on it were later selling at A@12e less. The
market has got into a condition that gives
millers as millers more confidence, they be-
| ing enabled to buy nearer the basis of flour
| values which promises more satisfactory re-
| turns. New York was l2c better than yester-
| day and cables rather more encouraging, but
in spite of it, exports did not seem to be
worked into activity.
The early markets were dull at SIC May,
Soi2c July and then sales of July were made
at 5sc. but later fell to l2c; next reacted to
SEC, and May sold at 87l2c. Considering the
amount of trading, prices fiuctuated rapidly
within the range Of l2c during an hour near
the middle of the session. The reason of it
was due to the unsettled feeling regarding
future prospects. Short supply was the chief
bull argument and big crop prospect the
basis of bear talk Receipts here were lib
eral with little more moving from farmers
hands.
There was all improvement in the demand
for cash wheat from the start, and the best
trade for many days was enjoyed ny the sam
pie men. Prices ranged shade higher for
everything on the tables in the shape of
wheat than for the last day or two, and on
wheat grading above No. holders were ask
Ing lie advance. Local millers were taking
a little wheat, but the demand was mainly
from the outside element. The bnlk of the
stuff taken was for Eastern and Southern
millers. and quite hole was made in the lib
eral offerings on the tables Receipts were
AZ cars and shipments were sixty-seven.
Duluth reported six on track.
The demand did not last until the close and
some wheat was left unsold. Prices were
weaker again.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Market Record: Flour-The following
mills were running to-day: Pillsbury and
b, Phoenix, Anchor, Washburn B and c.,
Petit, Minneapolis. Northwestern. Galaxy.
Columbia. Humboldt. Standard Palisade and
Crown Roller. The added daily capacity of
the fifteen mills grinding amounts to 90,
probably not exceed 1900
The -four market was dull in the extent of
demand but prices were quite well main
tanned considering the demand was much
below capacity of production. The late ten
dency has been TO quiet declines by reducing
the output, and the practice is quite likely TO
continue on this crop, as there seems no
prospect OF an expansion OF trade byeXports,
and the limits of distribution of spring wheat
-four have become too crcum5crfbed by high
prices TO expect enough demand to keep
spring wheat mills in operation. Still the re-
duced cost of wheat as compared with the
recent reduction in flour promises better re-
suits than before the break.

attention. The demand continues rather
light and production small. Prices are

and weak. Choice qualities tirmer. but not
in much demand; prices unchanged at 20@
csc.
