Cables were tirmer this morning. and
steadier prices on this side. On the other
hand there was nothing alarming in the for
eign situation, even in the face of some sen
sational reports. The July deal was mostly
settled yesterday, and demand was not very
brisk for elevator receipts OF regular contract
wheat. The opening was 96c for July, butas
there q more for sale than was needed by
shorts the price fell gradually. and by II
o'clock had reached 94c. August was quiet
and weak. with sellers mostly at 81, with
September 7S@7SAc and December at 100
791Ac. Some reported rather better demand
for corn late in the day with the feeling firm.
1t had been expected that the prospect of
new oats would weaken the old, but there
was fair inquiry late in the day, with some
frmness. Hay was not so easy to sell.
Following are the closing quotations: No.
1 hard July 9Sl2c; on track. $1.Ol: No. l
northern July, 93c; August, Sic; Septem-
ber, 7SAc; on track, 92@93c; No. northern,
July, S3c; on track, S4@S6c.
There was very little done in cash wheat
during the forenoon, AID sellers who were
anxious to dispose of their stocks were offer
ing some concessions in the matter of prices.
Most sellers were holding grade wheat at
about yesterdays figures, but as it was The
last Gay of July buyers took very little grain.
They reason that after the opening of August
the price of No. northern will drop consid-
erably below 96c and carry the other grades
with it, and that in a few days prices of cash
wheat here will fall several cents. With this
in view, there was very little taken to-day.
Receipts were IA cars, and 81 cars were
shipped. sgFsB

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
yesterday: Pillsbury A, Phoenix, Humboldt,
Petit, Minneapolis. Galaxy, Columbia, Palis.
ade. Crown Roller. st. Anthony, Washburn
A, and c. Cataract Excelsior and North
western. The added daily output Of the
sixteen mills grinding yesterday will prob
ably aggregate II, ,425 bbls. Flour was slow
and nominally unchanged in values, but
there was some complaint OF prices being
cut by individual millers to meet the require
ments Of their own private business. Very
little was said about il, and apparently there
was not much known of it that was very
definite. Considering the nearness of
