There was slightly improved demand for
cash wheat from local millers and the limited
offerings Of No. northern on the sample
tables were cleared away early in the session
when prices could be agreed upon. Receipts
were smaller again and the movement OF 49,
600 bu of wheat out OF New York lent some
strength TO the market Outside mlllers were
not doing much, but most Of the good milling
wheat went to city mills. Low grades were
slow as usual, and but a part OF them were
sold at all. Receipts were 81 cars and 90
were shipped out. Duluth reported 80 cars
on track. Car lot sales by sample: Two cars

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-There was no business in this trade
excepting the filing Of q few small orders
from widely scattered points. The break in
wheat knocked out large orders and curtailed
small ones to the supplying. of immediate
necessities. Flour has been duil a long time,
but millers have hung on with great tenacity,
whether the present decline in wheat will
force lower prices of flour dealers are waiting
to find out.
