ssc higher than Monday There was no great
breadth to the market.but a. times fair buy
ing demand developed. The tendency was
to buy on weak spots. and the frmness III the
demand for cash wheat gave it better gen
eral tone May was the favorite month
traded in, with a little done IN December at
about 75l4170SSc, May ruling much OF the
time at 81 78MS2c. Along some lines of rail-
roads the movement for the last few days
from farm granarles showed slight increase
due to change of weather since the recent
storms. Northwest elevator stock showed
smaller increase than had been expected,a and
added to firmness from other causes.

May sales at S24@S23sc.

Demand for samples of milling qualities
was active, and the higher grades mostly
taken by Minneapolis millers, with few Or
ders filled for outside milling points. The
milling demand kept prices above the point
at which elevator operators could work, SO
that very little was taken for elevator pur
poses, excepting of the low grades The
latter was dull. and poor wheat did not seem
to sympathiZe in the advance of regular No.
2 northern. and above. In some instances
it was not easy to sell Door qualities at what
pared with the good. Arrivals for the
twenty-four hours were 391 cars, shipments
50. No. l northern ranged from 76I2c to
7734c, with other grades maintain ng the
