Wheat was weak and lower YESTERDAY,
though opening at yesterdays closing price.
Trading from the first developed more sell
lers and the market declined quietly but
steadily TO 93Ac from 99s4c, the first figures
traded on. There did notappedr to be heavy
short selling by any particular ones, though
many had little to sell until prices touched
9Sl2c, the put price, when some buying
against them turned the market up, but
when such purchases had been made the
market declined again. Cables were easy but
wheat generally quoted unchanged. A fair
farmers movement was reported i'll the
late average.
Following are yesterdays closing wheat
quotations: No. hard, October S1.nl; on
track, $l.O2; No. northern, October. 90 SIC;
track. Csc; No. 2 northern, October, 92c;
December. 93l9c; on track, 93c; May,
Sl.O37s.
CASH WHEAT.
Sample offerings of wheat by car lots were
very full and it moved fairly. excepting ON
roads that would not let their cars take the
wheat to elevators where it could be con-
veniently transferred. Prices were lower,
but with the required concession No. l
northern moved pretty well, while other
grades below it dragged considerably, espe-
cially when in cars inconvenient to be de-
1vered where 1t was wanted for handling.
There were the usual demands locally and
outside, though some buyers held out for the
bottom to be reached.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output of the
mills grinding yesterday will probably ag
gregate Is, 6u0 bbls.
A steady trade was maintained with -four
selling at prices reasonably firm. Bakers
moved quite well on foreign account with
fair business in the domestic markets There
is one thing in the situation that is favorable
for steady demand and that is that BUYERS
have not anticipated future wants like they
had some other seasons. The high prices for
other food products leaves the position more
to the favor of larger consumption of -four
than other years. Patents were sold quite
freely at about 81 15.4O, with others bring
ing more, giving range OF S-'.3O0' go
asked. Bakers were figured all the way from
S3.75 to $40 for the different qualities, with
low grades in bags quoted at So. l, o.. 80.
