Chamber of Con.,nerce

The arrivals in the last two days were 623
cars, and a large part of them were offered
on the market by sample, which, with a mod
crate movement of them, gave the market the
character OF being Overstocked with spot
wheat. and created unusual dizziness in the
trade in futures. May ranged about 943sM
9412c during the fore part OF the session, but
later yielded to dullness IN fell TO about
94c, with small trading On The way down.
The market had been eyened up before,
and the break created no excitement
and very little interest. There was
practically no outside business. Floor opera
tors took what business there was offered

CASH WHEAT.
The demand for spot wheat had nothing
of the pushing character ahout ii, and yet all
good wheat offered early at SIC. for No. l
seemed to be wanted, though later. when
futures were lower buyers bid less. The
samples included two days arrivals, and.
though large for the season, found buyers.
TIL latter included shippers. local elevators
and local mil)ers, the latter the most. Con
sidering the quiet condition, business
moved quite satisfactory.

FLOUR AND coARsE GRAINS.
Flonr-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday probably aggregated b.
4u0 bbis.
There was q small movement of sales, but
as large as usual at this season. Consider
able late sales relieve the market of the bur-
den of any surplus to speak OF. and the posi-
ton of foreign markets is such that almost
any amour of -four may be dropped into
them without creating an overflow. While
there may be nothing in sight to inspire
hope or an immediate advance the outlook is
not discouraging to makers of flour, for the
-four. as well as the grain to make it, seems
to rest in q secure position.
