Receipts of wheat for the day were 1913
cars here and 81 at Duluth. Local ship
ments 81 cars. About the usual amount of
samples were shown in the market and the
most OF 1t was fair to good milling quality.
Some lots were not SO good and were hard to
SELL few out of town millers were here in
person and bought few cars each but COM

asked for many, as the sales of flour were
slow with them and what they did sell there
was no profit in. A few milling orders were
filled for shipment. but the bulk of inquiries
for such wheat was limited below current
figures.
