Nn6A III hEs.
Wheat opened dull, with December at 94A
094ssc, and May at S1.0Oss bid, and small
transactions in either. A moderate business
followed in the December future and q few
trades In May. There was q small advance,
with much steadiness. at about 94l2c Deem
Der and 81 .00AMay. Few outside orders were
here, either to buy or to sell. The trading was
left mainly in the hands of local operators.
A small amount was offered by elevator peo-
pie, without selling a great deal. Cables
were easy and unchang ed in the morn
Ing, but later were firm, and closed a
shade -dearer. Reports from the interior
81 owed a slowing up in the amount of farm
ers' deliveries in some parts, while in others
the movement was still quite liberal. There
was little to encourage heavy buying yet and
the price was generally felt to be about low
enough, with nothing in the news to stimu-
late present activity. 1t was a sort of wait
ing market all around.
Following are the days closing wheat quo
tations: No. l hard, October. Csc: on track,
99c; No. l northern, October, 91ssc; NO

Demand for good samples of wheat in ears
was fair and selections went well. AS usual,
low grades did not sell as easily as could be
desired, and yet they sold more easily than
some other days. Inquiry was of a general
character, and the larger part of the offerings
went out to buyers during the session. The
demand was for milling, shipping, n to go
into store, at a range of prices shown in the
list of sales. A great deal Of work is called
for to get all sold, as each car has TO be hand
led on its own merits. Wheat receipts yes
terday were 454 cars, with 70 cars shipped.
Duluth reported 14o cars received there.
FLOUR N COARSE GRAINS.
FlOur-The daily output of the mills grind
ing yesterday will probably aggregate 2S,3OO
bbls.
The tendency to decline that was notice
nhln ln0f n 80 ~ r~-r To- Tho
reason that wheat has not declined on the
average. Flour goes steadily, and under the
conditions surrounding the market it moves
as freely as could naturally be expected.
There are occasional accommodations of sur
plus and some extra demand comes along
and removes it. About S5.25 is the bottom
for flour of the first grades of patents, while
other is held at $5.45 in wood. There are
straights at 25c a Dbl less. Bakers, $3.50
4.45 for export to fancy ana low grades. in

steady at S11 .25@11.5 so bulk with shorts sell
ing at $l3.25@l3.50 bulk, and middlines at
$14.2o@14.75 bulk. With the full produc-
ton and ordinary prices at this season the
market looks high, but when the relative
value of it is estimated it appears low COM
