Wheat was firm at the opening and prices
nearly l2c higher thar Thursday at the close
Cables were weak, with an easier tone,
caused by fine weather in Europe and full
supply of grain at chief places of general ac-
emulation. Shortly after the markets
the early gain was quickly lost. Then sales
were made lower, and severe loss was sus-
tanned that took away all that had been
gained before. The weather was fine in the
Northwest, and crops are generally doing
well, though with an excess of moisture in
some parts. The country movement of wheat
is small, reaching, perhaps, 25o.00O bu for
this week. No hard, June, 81: on track, 81
g. 0Ol2; No northern, June, 95a4c; July.
96Ac; September. 84ssc; on track, &c; No 2
northern, June. 93c; on track, G3094c. &
Cash Wheat-Cash wheat was dull and
lower. No. northern sold mainly from the
July price for thin wheat 10 l1c over for
fancy. Sales ranged all the way from 97@
9S12c, with very few cars above 9Sc No. 2
sold from 93c for soft to Csc for very choice
Bulk of sales were at 94f094l9c. The market
followed the decline in futures closely, and
late sales were considerably under the early
ones. The local demand was slow. There
was some inquiry for No. hard, and under
very small offerings relatively higher prices
were paid than on other grades. Receipts of
wheat for twenty-four hours were 1875 cars !;
shipments, 20 cars Duluth received % cars.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output of the
mills grinding yesterday will probably agpre-
gate 1890 bbls. Shipments, 49, 900 bbls, quoted
second patents; 81. 15G45O for fancy and ex-
port bakers; S2l5Q12.35 for low grades. in
bags, including red dog. Flour markets have
been too unsettled for even fair encourage
ment to flour. More inquiry is noticeable
and 1t is likely that the demand would soon
pick up with steadiness In grain. When suit
able rates are obtained 1t is found that flour
may be exported. Late conditions of freights
were against the shipments of -four. for the
cheaper rates OH through grain placed the
Western miller at a disadvantage, Being so
he has worked against laws of trade that are
hard to overcome. The market was steady
for day or so with fair movement
Bran and Shorts-Shipments. 6l3 tons:
quoted at Sill. 50011.75 for bran, SIS. 5OM15. Is
for shorts, and S15.50@16.50 for middlings.
Demand for general millstuffs is good. and
| SO far as shorts go they are exceedingly scarce
for prompt shipment, as the have been for
several weeks. Feed of all sorts in sacks is
wanted most now. Large quantities 60 East
| to the coast and 1t is that trade now that is
| most active, The quantity turned out now
| is limited by the small mill output, for the
| dizziness in the -four sales does not encourage
| millers to work up their mill capacities.
Corn-Receipts, 1850 bu; shipments none :;
quoted at 55Q56c on track. Corn sales.
based on the price obtained for the few cars
| offered TO the local trade, are above the shin
| ping basis. and late figures secured for such
lots cannot be promised for large quantities.
Local consumers require about the amounts
reported sold recently.
Oats-Receipts. G, 400 bu; shipments. 1000
bu; quoted at 35@37Ac by sample. Weak
ness without heavy recent declines is the
feature of the market now OF course. the
local trade will consume a limited quantity
at what the feeders have to pay; but there
appears to be more held than consumers will
need, and If they are turned out to shippers
then prices must shrink.
Rye Receipts, none; shipments 600 bu /:
quoted at 77@7Sc for sample cars on track
Barley-Receipts. none; shipments none.
Nominal at 55065c for poor to fine samples
of No. 8.
Flax-Receipts,1 1850 bu: shipments, 43O bu.
Flax sales are based on 10c Off from the Chi
cago market.
Feed-Millers held at s22@22 50: less than
car lots, So. 50@23. with cornmeal at S22@23.
Hay-Receipts none; shipments 10 tons.
Choice wild quoted at S7.5c@S. Fair wild, So
@7.50. Poor wild, S5@6. Good timothy at
S9.50@10.50. Choice wild hay was inquired
for, and would have sold above 50 if it had
been here. The stuff ordered now dealers
call poor, cheap wild hay. and 1t brings a
price ranging down from about SIS, an occa-
sional car that comes out better than the
common run brings Is to SOC more money.
Such are too rare TO count on, and if shippers
of common wild hay expect to get the TOD
they are subject to disappointment.
