FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
2l,6y0 bbls. Shipments, 26,77 bbls. Quoted
at S5.1G@5,50 for first patents; Si.956l5.1O for
second patents; St@4,60 for fancy and export
bakers; S2@2.50 for low grades, in bags IN
eludlng red dog. The flour market is firm
selling their output. Some large sales of pat
ents have been made lately at the outside
quoted. There were sales of patents too
and straight flour has been sold that netted
close 10 50 at the mills, with considerable
patent at $40. Other sales have been made
lower, but millers are firm to-day for all
qualities.
Bran and Shorts = Shipments, 10 tons.
Quoted al Sl5.5GG16 for bran. SlG5C6t7 for
shorts and S1701?.50 for middlings There is
tendency to easier markets though there is
no prospect of low ones. The demand for
bulk lots is active from Western points of
consumption, especially in view of the high
prices OF hay III some places. The Eastern
demand remains rather slack.
Corn-Receipts, 3,7l0 hu; shipments none
Quoted at 69@1oc on track. y small per
cent of the corn is grading contract where it
has been sold on grade for future months
And with supply of it OH hand ridiculously
small, 1t Is not surprising that speculative
markets are unusually active in the variation
OF prices. Cash demand continues good all
around.
Oats-Receipts 294O bu: shipments, $3.50
bu. Quoted at 53t05iIac by sample Full
prices for oats were secured by sellers, and
since the high prices are so we'll established
they seem TO buyers q matter of course and
offerings are accepted without protest
Rye-Receipts, $50 bu; shipments none.
Quoted at S1@S3c for sample cars on track.
car of rye now and then shows up by
sample. The demand is quiet. with the mar
ket called rather firm, and full prices seem to
be obtainable.
Barley-Receipts. none; shipments, none
Quoted at 55G50c for poor TO fine samples of
No. 3. Offerings are meager ard business
small, with no features. The shipping in-
qulry was fair, with an easier tone in the
matter of prices, as some shading was needed
TO move samples.
Flax-Receipts 1000: shipments. none.
Flax sales are based on Sc off from the Chi
cago market

meal at S250126.
