bakers: 81 .250y2.10 for low grades, in bags,
including red dog. The flour market was
stronger in sympathy with wheat advancesg
Flour dealers were somewhat excited by the
late foreign demand for flour, taken in cong
nectlon with the sharp rise yesterday in
wheat. Al late prices of patents large guam.

respond with 1t checking the movement
somewhat. II
Bran and Shorts-Shipments. 661 tonsS'
Quoted at S16.2501S.50 for bran. SIG. 75@I72s
for shorts and S17.5CGlS for mddlings. This
market was pretty well held with shortsI
ranging about 81 above bran, and mlddlineg
SOC or so above shorts. The demand for
these classes of feed seems to be pretty wels
assured TO hold up until the new oats begirf
to come on the markets. There appears tS
be no trouble with the millers III selling theiA
whole output with the most of it going toi
Western points.
Corn-Receipt, $3.50 bu; shipments, 4,621l
tuued weather has been favorable to a
further rise of prices on speculation, and tho1
small stocks i'll store generally forces the
cash markets into full sympathy, bringing
prices the highest so far on the crop. Even1
the lower grades that contract corn hold WelIl
up to No =, showing the sharp inquiry foEn
spot gram to feed Cables are also encour+l
aging.
Oats-Receipts. 1890 bu; shipments $3.50,
bu. Quoted at 5.0155l2c by sample. OATS
that stood alone in the advance at one timel
has for few days followed corn in the upA
ward course. There has been some late ten-I
dency TO realize OIL long property, and IL
other grains had not been so firm it was
thought that oats might have settled, but
with small stocks they sympathize with gen-s
eral grain markets. /
Rye-Receipts, none; shipments. none.
Quoted al S2tGS4c for sample cars Oil track.
The tendency of this market has been up
ward for few days, although it is in some!
respects a nominal one. There was a smalli
inquiry today and about 1c represents the;
nominal rise. i
Barley-Receipts none; shipments, none.1
Quoted at 6CG110c for poor to fine samples OF ,
No. 3. There was no special demand noted, /
and little TO offer. The high prices of feed
grain strengthens the position of medium
qualities to take the place of screenings, and
sometimes corn aud oats, in the manufacture
of feed. Mailing barley was in fair request
