than it sold at later. The early cables quot
ed London ana Liverpool higher and Berlin
higher, while other caEles said the demand
was poor. The specializing crowd mostly sold
little TO try the market. 1t yielded ard
they sold more, until i'll some places there
was about lie decline before the break was
checked during the first hour. Stocks in
creased in the Northwest country elevators
to 10,7S5,500 Blu, gain of GO, 400 bu in a

OF poor wheat on the tables, There was
good demand for No. northern. bnt every
thing else was slow The rejected and no

FLOUR AND COARSE GRA ms
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
20 400 bbls.

LOO tor first patents; S4.4-@14. G5 for second
patents; S40D4 40 for fancy and export baS-
erS 5! l503 for low grades in bags, includ-
ing red dog.
Flour was doing moderately well, but was
not so active as before the break in the mar
kets. Foreign buying was carried on in q
more conservative style. Bidders were most
ly below prices asked here, and while some
business was worked it was rather slow.
There was scattered home demand to SUPP
ply domestic trade.
Bran land Shorls-Shipments 1893 tons.
Quoted at Sll@1l2 for bran. SlI@l2 for shorts
ana S1:@13 for middlings Millstuff is as
dull as could we'll be- the larger mills were
not supplying fresh business, as these millers
asked above the current price. Dealers sold
bran down to S11. The market was much
broken. with no well-established basis of
prices for either bran or shorts; the latter
were obtainable as low as bran.
Corn-Receipts, 1850 bu; shipments. a.
$50 bu. Quoted at 32@35c for No =, 36037c

Corn is in much the same state of depression,
from lack of transport service to the East.
Futures were fairly steady, but the No.
corn, that supplies the cash market chiefly,
is unsettled. A few cars can be forwarded,
but so few thereis no safety in selling to de-
liver East.

bu. Quoted at 29l20 soc for No. , white. %
@2942cfor No. white, and 21023 for Nos.
and 3. Oats markets are yet unsettled by tho
depression of corn and barley and recent
low prices of wheat. Futures are rather
steady and SteadineSS is not entirely want
ing for samples, although business is ad-
versely affected by the car famine, to ship
out of here
