FLOUR OUTPUT AT sGINNEAPoLIs.
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. %. There was
very little change in the amount of
-four got ont by the mills last week,
the quantity still being large. The
aggregate output for the week ending
November 9, was III, 400 barrels, aver
aging 28,5S1 barrels daily, against |
1850 barrels the week before and |
$500 for the corresponding week in |
1888. At present all the mills are be- |
ing operated to their utmost capacity, |
not SO much on account of any special |
demand for -four as to get their pro-
lucts forward before tho advance in |
which is expected to occur
IN November 20, or soon thereafter. |
The greater number of millers have |
'tiffened up prices, and the strength |
developed in the wheat market to-day |
s expected to make -four more active |
{ maintained. The export trade is
ess active, bids usually being lower.
The direct exports of flour last week
we're 60,760 barrels, against Sc, 100 bar
,els the preceding week. Quotations,

The arrivals at the same two places
we're 100000 bushels, the difference |
being mostly at Duluth. Two years /
ago at this date the crop movement |
had been i, 100000 bushels less. and |
in 1886 it was 100000 bushels
less than for the same time |
this year. There were in each OF |
those years larger stocks in country
elevators than now, which goes far
toward removing the difference be-
