The wheat markets were weak and lower
to begin with this morning, due mostly to re-
ports OF lower prices in Liverpool for some
styles of wheat and dullness in all. Toward
noon, when the visible supply report was
made and showed decrease of 1867. 600 bu,
the market picked up about l2Gs4e on
the different month futures. The crowd
bought when the advance began. New York
reported five loads taken early. Corn and
oats strengthened from the start and ad-
yanced for futures about lc and stimulated
wheat to some extent, Weather was cool,
and. though rains have been heavy. the
spring crop was doing well. Country eleva-
tor supplies decreased 101, 900 bu for the
week. December opened at SEC, sold at S5SSc
at 1890, S61sc at Il, and down to S5a4c at
o'clock

100 bbls. Shipments. 13,243 bbls Quoted at
S4.SO05-20 for first patents; 81 65G4 90 for
second patents; S4.1504.50 for fancy and ex-
port bakers; s.. 15lD2.35 for low grades, in
bags. including red dog. There was weak
drift in the flour market to-day, consequent
upon the declining prices of wheat in the last
half of the past week. Buyers hold off for
all above the supplies needed to keep them
going from day To day. That does not oc-
cupy the full time and capacity of the mills.
To sell any more, however, calls for conces-
sions that few millers will make, for the sim
pie reason that it would be done if at all. at
net loss. for at the moment there is mo
profit III even the common orders.
Bran and Shorts = Shipments, $40 tons:
quoted at S1i.500l1.75 for bran, SIS. 50615 70
for shorts and S15.500116.50 for middlings
All sorts of millstuffs maintained full prices
considering the declines suffered the past
week in grams OF all descriptions. Shorts
are very scarce. Few have been obtainable
for prompt shipment for some time. Bran is
more easily supplied; STILL full prices are the
rule, ana with small concession the demand
is large.
Corn-Receipts, 5000 bu.; shipments none:
quoted at 54055c on track. Corn was as ac-
tive as the small supplies would allow. The
late holdings have been small, and BUYERS
have been compelled to pay above the rela-
tive prices al other points to get it. A few
days of full receipts would change that.
Oats-Receipts. $500 bu; shipments. 5000
bu; quoted at 34l2036I2c by sample. Fewer
oats were offered for few DAYS and they
were well held compelling the payment of
old prices all through the latter part of the
past week. Feeling was easy to-day with
the affairs in The local market ruling the
market as reserve stocks were not excessive.
Rye Receipts, none; shipments, none:
quoted at 71@7Sc for sample cars on track.
