increase III the demand for wheat TO
make -four. These turned the crowd to
the bull side, and the difference or
spread between this land others was
wider. The disposition is to narrow the
difference between May and later
futures, and to-day June and
July moved up relatively nearly lie.
The market was quiet, with first
sales s1.0SA May, and not much
inquiry for any other future. Prices
rose to &c in the first half hour and
later declined about 15c, followed by
better demand and fractional rise.
The demand was stimulated by larger
sales of -four and by more demand for

days. The sales of flour reached about
10000 bbls last week, the bulk Of it
selling on the latter days of the week.
The visible decrease was $4,000 blu,
which was smaller than expected and
produced slight depression. The mar

the session, and before l O'Clock had

Sample tables were more literally
covered with wheat than for some days
past. and the demand from millerS
showed most encouraging improve
ment. Both outside and. local millerS
were picking up good deal of the
grain, and the demand for the best mill

were worked up 1c or &c in some cases.

Flour-Market Record: The follow
ing mills were running to-day: Pills
bury A and Il, Phoenix, Anchor, Wash
burn B and G, ST. Anthony, Northwest
ern and Holly. The added daily capac-
ity of the nine mills grinding amounts
to 1880 bills, but the output for to-day
will probably not exceed $1,000.
The feeling was strong, and pretty
large sales were made. Most local mill
ers sold as much as they wanted to, in
view of the relative values of wheat
and flour. A part of the miIlers asked
more for -four to-day. while others sold
for the old prices. Ii the demand had
pushed any harder, other producers
would also have asked more. as they
believe in higher future prices, and also
believe that before the end of the crop
year they will not have supplies to meet
the demand then, when prices Will be
higher, For such reasons it is thought
to be eXpedient not to be over-anXious
about getting rid of the moderate ac-
emulation. in hand. Patents, sacks to
