The movement of wheat in the Northwest
was smaller for the day than had been ex-
pected. Of the days inspection of wheat,
amounting 10 total of 143 cars, 83 were new
quality, and all but 81 graded No. northern
and No. hard. The 81 grading under No.
/ northern were of soft varieties or the grain
going through the sweating process in the
cars. Gables were generally quoted steady
and some private ones said firm.
Buying for shipment reported slow in New
York, with loads taken. Against the $780,
900 bu received at the leading primary points
about 100000 were shipped. Futures sold
at pretty steady prices, ranging most OF the
cember. Some August sold at 77l4c: There
was some milling complaint of the new
wheat being little tough" yet, though not
much has been ground.
Toward the close September worked up a
fraction, while August was lower, with sales
of August at 76Ac, September, 74@c. At
the close No. l hard was offered at Sic, and
No. l Northern at TIC.
Following are the closing quotations: No.
l hard, o. t.. soc; No: Northern, August
7649c; December, 16Ac; o. t., 76c; No. 2
northern, o. t., 73c.
Receipts here for the two days amounted
to lit cars of wheat, and 81 were shipped
out There was a good deal of looking
around for milling qualities in the first half
of the session, but not much grain was sold
up to noon. A few cars of the finest samples
were taken as they were discovered by millers
in need Of special lots, and these went at
about the same prices prevailing at the close
of last week. Among posted inspections
was weak i'll No. 1 northern new. with pros
poets of lower prices soon. For old No. 3
and choice No. Q northern there was some
inquiry, but for old No. l there appeared no
more desire than last week. Sellers generally
asked Saturdays last prices for all samples,
with LIGHT demand and lower bids Du1uth
received 2 cars.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
Yesterday: Cataract, Phoenix, Minneapolis.
Anchor, Holly, st. ANTHONY Pillsb ury A.
and Columbia. The added daily output of the
nine mills grinding Yesterday will probably
aggregate lO,6sS bbIs. The -four market has
not picked UP enough life yet to keep the
mills all at work, but at the rate cash wheat
has been declining in rices recently it
promises soon to be low enough to take all
grades into export when more activity is
Calculated upon. The crop in the Northwest
is superior, not only to recent years here, but
in quality is ahead of the winter grain, as it
has not suffered by bad weather and bleach
ing since it was cut. For September delivery
lower prices are accepted. The distribution
was moderate. Patents, sacks to local deal
