FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding to-day viii probably aggregate H.
600 hbls. Shipments, "A 256 bbls. Quoted at
S4-T@4.90 for first patents; $4.30@450 for
second patent; S3.60614 10 for fancy and ex-
port bakers; St.SG02.10 for low grades in
bags including red dog. Flour has moved
steadily for this week considering the low
prices OF wheat that would tend to the cur
tailment OF the demand. 1t is evident that
dealers are not carrying any stocks worth
considering, for their frequent replenish-
ments show it. Such frequent renewals af-
ford fair trade, and about the same
amount may be figured upon daily that
demand. II wheat advances sharply
there will unquestionably be more inquiry
for flour and sales will be larger. But
whether it would supply trade that would
be more satisfactory is question. II a
larger demand would arise for patent -four
for future delivery, then, with small ad-
vance, it would be supplied, which in turn
would end the demand hat now exists for
so frequent fresh purchases. Prices are
steady
