wheat. and the latter helped corn and oats.

for futures, about lc in the first hour. The
cash prices were strengthened also by the

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
26,S0J bblS. Shipments, sop bbls Quoted at
S5GG0l510 for first patents; S5.25@5.55 for
second patents; S435@525 for fancy and
export bakers; 2.iC62. - for low grades in
bags, including red dog. The flour markets
are dull, and rs usual at such times quota
tons sent out found few responses Asa
rule no one wanted any flour TO speak of.
and the little that was needed was taken
carefully 1t is claimed at the seaboard that
exporters own ali the wheat and have large
purchases made to be filed in August and
September from the new crop. The spriug
wheat they say is to go to England and the
winter wheat TO the continent They don't
tell what is 10 become of the -four. Holders
OF 1t are all in the belief that the markets
will advance while buyers wait for drop.
Bran and Shorts ~ Shipments, Sl4 tonsS
quoted at SIP SEA 1880 for bran, Si5015.50 for
shorts, and Sld lG5O for middlings. The de-
cline in bran and shorts for the last week has
been quite important, due to declining prices
of other feed stuff and increase of parturage.
The market was quiet
Corn-RccelptS, L. lUO Du. shipments, $50
bu; quoted ut 6fQ65c on track. The market
for corn was rather unsettled, and some con-
tidence was felt that prices have got down
about bottom fer awhile. Indicated move
ment to the interior markets is larger and is
was thought that it might have a weakening
effect on sample prices here.
OatS-Receipts. ll.62O bu; shipments, 1000
bu; quoted AT 5Cl2@52l2c by sample. Oats
seemed to meet good demand. and samples
that were held within reach Of buyers went
off quite handily. New y ork has been higher,
and the feeling was rather strong for choice
lots here.
Rye-Receipts, none; shipments, none;
Quoted at SC1S5c for sample cars on track.
The demand is restricted to the filing of a
few orders, and few are offered, and yslues
steady.

Quoted at 6C@7Cc for poor 10 fine samples Of
no. 3. Arrivals are small and in all essen
tial particulars there was no change for the
