sale this morning and moderate de-
mand for May at the start at about sc
decline. The receipts have been liberal
in the county for the last two weeks
and have continued longer than had
been expected, resulting in smaller re-
ductlOn OF country stocks than had been
figured on. 1t was apparent farmers
had more wheat than they had been
credited with or that they are less con-
fldent in the prices to rule during the
spring and summer than before. Mar
kets in other places showed down
ward tendency which, added to the
local bearish sentiment, caused material
declines during the day. All real
lied that manipulation was at any
time liable to change the drift, but until
1T does come traders mostly regarded
the situation as bearish and avoided the
the long side. The opening for May
was $1.07I, which was the highest
point of the day. From that prices
weakened, selling down to Sl.06T,
where some steadiness was maintained
until nearly noon, and then May broke
to s1.0515. July sold 15(054c above May.
There was very little inquiry for any
other grade and for No. l Northern
business was mostly for May. Liver
pool was quoted dull and unchanged.
The market for futures was more active
than on any previous day in the week,
owing to the heavy decline to S1.05 at
1880 and later to S1.04 before the close.
Receipts of wheat here were 1877 cars
and while there was some talk of de-
creasing movement in the country, the
present supply here is too large for
steady prices. The early break in
speculative markets put check to trad
ing in cash wheat, and business is eX-
pected to be light until markets become
settled again. A few orders were being
filed H and an occasional lot of the best
No. 2 was taken by millers. but sales
were limited all the morning. Prices
were very unsettled and ranged from l
93c below yesterday, though there is
no established price for any grade.
Shipments were 63 cars. Duluth re-
ported 26 cars. Local elevator stocks
are expected to decrease $4,000 bu for
the week. Car lot sales by sample

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Market Record: Flour-The follow
Ing mills were running to-day: Pills
bury A and B. Phoenix, Anchor, Wash
burn B and G, st. Anthony, Galaxy,
Holly, Standard and Petit. The added
daily capacity of the eleven mills grind
ing amounts to 1890 bbls. but the out
put for to-day will probably not exceed
$1,000. Flour went out steadily, and
about the extent of the production was
moved. Eastern buyers did not take
much, and claim prices are held too
high for them. There are some Mime
apois patents held at $7.25, and sales
touched that in New England points, but
only on squirt of excitement. There are
others asking about S7.15, but even at
this sales OF best patents are not very
brisk and prices have to be shaded well
toward before they will go. New
York and points further south are on a
similar basis with difference in prices
equal to the difference in freights. Pat
ents, sacks to local dealers, S6.3O(0S6. 40;
patents to ship, sacks, car lots, $6@6.2O;
in barrels, S6.25@6.35; delivered at New
