amount of wheat on passage. There was
heavy selling on short account IN chicago.

crate demard here. prices fell about one cent

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
Yesterday: Phoenix, Washburn A, B and c,
Anchor, Palisade. Pillsbury A and B, Column
bia, Cataract, ST. Anthony, Dakota, Holly,
Standard, Petit, Excelsior. Galaxy, Crown
Roller and Minneapolis. The added daily
output of the nineteen mills grinding yester-
day will probably aggregate $3.50 bbis.
There was considerable quiet selling OF flour
for the last day or two about which very tlttle
has been said. Pri es have not been so high
as to be especially gratifying TO the sellers.
Still the sales did not net q loss on current
purchases of wheat The movement OF
wheat is free. and the milers who sold
flour bought large amount OF wheat.
With the flour sold and the wheat
bought while there is little working mar
gin, the millers so situated are quietly turn
ing out the flour on the contracts, and at
tending to the daily small order trade. Alto
gether there was place for the productsons
about as fast as turned out, at steady values.
