Chamber ofCo.n,nerce,

NAV wheat was rather higher during much
OF yesterdays session. Business was slow
and III futures consisted mainly in closing
old matters and in scalping for the fluctua-
tons incident 10 a single days trade. The
market was mostly very narrow, and while
there were some shorts out they were not
nervous. for the buyers were far from ag-
gressive. Very little outside business came
ness the leading feature in foreign

ure of New York was that same
prices were quoted for cash and May wheat.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS
Flour-The added daily output OF the mills
grinding yesterday probably aggregated %
coo bblS.
Shipments, 1880 bbls. Quoted at s4.6o
as for first patents; Sl.4OGo4.6u for second
patents: So. 6Glo4. 20 for fancy and export
bakers; SIS @2.25 for low grades in bags,
including red dog. The markets are very
slow for fresh business. There are yet suIue
old contracts on hand. which, with fresh
business. keeps the mills pretty well EN-
ployed without piling up much surplus.
Prices are low, even when compared with
the late price of wheat that has iuled since
the recent break. Thyre is some trade that
comes along with little regard to any pecu-
liarity of position for II is the class that waits
until the necessities of the bGver demand re-
plenshment of supplies. The inquiry is not
OF small proportions this year. the specu-
lalive style of business is at the present out
OF the market.
