In the sample wheat market there was a
little more inquiry and looking around by
BUYERS at the start but the actual business
done was no larger than on the closing days
of last week. The tables displayed a larger
amount for sale, and several lots OF No.
hard were disposed of at prices ranging fully
as high as last week, some f. o. b. sales beng
made at SLY. Holders of low grades conld
see no improvement either in prices or de-
mand. Total receipts for the two days were
1SS cars, and 40 were shipped out. Duluth
reported "a cars on track. Minneapolis ele-

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The flour market remained quiet
with the regular demand from the interior to
| be filled that consumes about the current
| local production. There was nothing to
| speak of in the way of prices. The produc-
| ton is steadily held, and when sold goes at
| regular rates. There has been no expansion
| of territory since the beginning OF the year,
| to be supplied. With apparently slow con-
sumption the outlook is not especially
bright. Patents, sacks to local dealers,
| Sc. 35@6.5O: patents to ship, sacks car
| lots, Sc. 1906. 80; in barrels, S6.35@6.5O
| delivered at New England points, S7@7. Is ;
| New York points, ST. .90@7.O5; delivered at
| Philadelphia and Baltimore, S6.S5@z: bak-
ers here, S4.2O@5. 80: superine, $3@435 ;
Red dog, sacks, $1.6O@1.65; Red dog, bbls,
| ST. S001. IS.
Bran and Shorts-The bran market was
weak, and the production going forward at
about SO. so free on cars.
Corn-The offerings light, but the demand
| was not active. Good lots were held at about
| 29@31c o. t.
Oats-There were poor oats sold as low as
| 21@22c, but fair lots brought 24@25c, and
| choice heavy held for 26@3Oc.
| Barley-Receipts light and choice barley
wanted. The offerings were poor. Really
| choice barley would sell readily at 54955c,
and good brewing stock at 5O@52c, but
| moderately fair lots were slow.

Flax quoted at S1.56: Chicago, S1.62.
