Chamberof Commerce.

break in the wheat markets occurred this
morning, with early sales nearly 1c under
the closing of Friday. Lower sales were
made little later. Then with a feeling that
there had been break enough some fair buy
ing was noted. Some OF it was against priv
ileges and some for reaction, uninfuenced
by them. Weather was called more favora-
bic in Europe and on account of stocks of
wheat on hand showed more faVOrably than
had been supposed, all giving a feeling of
WEAKNESS to the longs. Total receipts at the
four principal spring wheat points since

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.

grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
~, 400 bbls. Shipments, IL, 3S2 bbls; quoted
at S5.20G15.50 for first patents; SJM5.2O for
second patents; S4.250491 for fancy and
export bakers; S202.25 for low grades in
bags, including red dog. Flour buyers are

fair trade for this season of the year
