Prices of wheat futures fuctuated some
what during the day. They were lower about
the middle of the session than at the open
ing. caused chiefly by lower prices reported
and flour were quite large, The favor being to
the side of flour. New York exported some
1000 pkgs of -four and Baltimore 26, OO0.
Stlll. the demand for flour here was not of
that character that seemed TO stimulate the
market May sold with some activity at in
tervals but was generally slow. and very
little was done in other months. When prices
got to sic bid the demand was very large.
Yesterdays closing quotations for No. l
northern cash were about lie too high.
Following are the closing quotations.: No.
l hard. January. Soc; February, SO1ac: May,
s3I2c; on track, Sic; No. l northern, Jaru-
on track, zoe; No. northern, January,
a4c; February, zoe; May, Use; on track,
74D77c.
The local receipts for the past twenty-four
hours were 204 cars and 36 shipped out.
The demand for cash wheat OF the higher
grades, was good, but buyers showed q dis
position to force concessions and at times
buying was slow; but the competition for the
offerings was enough to hold the market up
on good selections TO quite full prices. The
poorer lots of the upper grades, and the I'M
DER grades IN some cases. seemed TO drag. In
other instances sellers disposed of them in
satisfactory manner. Millers thought wheat
too high for -four but seemed to be unable
to reconcile them satisfactorily 10 them
