Wheat futures-The arrivals of wheat to-
day were 341 cars, including what came Sun

country elevators. leaving decrease of 14S,
900 bu in the latter for the last week. There
is prospective decrease of more for the pres

weak, and May sold down below the lowest
figures reached Saturday. Liverpool was
firm.
Later in the day prices advanced, and about
noon were up to closing of Saturday, with Or
binary fluctuations after it,

CASH WHEAT.
Local millers bought spot wheat freely at
the outset, but were soon filled up. and, with
a weakness in futures. held off for break.
While they bought early in the session they
paid mostly about 9S12c for No. northern.
After that. and while futures were weak, it
was hard to get much above 93c for ordinary
country wheat. The poor wheat was dull
and slow, for shippers figured to hold off and
buy at the last, and get some advantage from
the necessity of sellers. Closed; No. hard,
February 94c, on track, 94lac; No. l north
ern, February and March, 92l2c; May 9t94c,
on track, 93c; No. 2 northern. February, Ole,
on track, 91@9ll2c; July closed at96Ac.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
The added daily output of the mills grind
ing to-day Will probably aggregate 10 900 bbls.
The flour markets are quiet, with a very
steady movement and few late price changes.
The additional freight charges now are some
thing of a hindrance, for it is the addition of
16c per Dbl, and may make the difference be-
tween loss and n profit, which would be
enough to cause mill TO be active or idle,
Considerable patent flour could be bought
to day for $4.75, and some, perhaps. at S4.50,
while all would like to get about S4.SO@IS5,
it is likely Foreign bids are too low, and
the domestic demands too limited now to be
satisfactory selling to either.
Shipments, %, lS5 bbls. Quoted at 81 $50
495 for first petents, S42561445 for second
patents. S355@4.20 for fancy and export
