FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
29990 bills Shipments, a, 46l bbls Quoted
at $4.7GQ5 for first patents; S4.500475 for
second patents; Sil1450 for fancy and ex-
port bakers; 81. 25613 for low grades, in bags,
including red dog. Flour was quiet and rath-
er unsettled, due to the unsettled wheat
market that was disturbed by the gov
eminent crop estimate late Saturday. There
was feeling however, that the disturb
ance would not be lasting, for the demands
of Europe will produce activity again
shortly, in spite of disappointment of super
fetal observers on this side. Stocks of -four
III the larger markets were reduced about
~, 900 bbs in September. In the leading
winter wheat states stocks of both wheat and
-four are smaller than one month ago Farm
ers there are Withholding wheat in many
places making it inconYenient for som
millers to get supplies.
Bran and Shorts-Shipments. 1,243 tons.
Quoted at $40. 25@1O7 rs for bran. S11.25@13 for
shorts and l3.5o01450 middlings.
There is some steadiness in the market for
mill feed, and the inquiry is good for both
shorts and bran. Buyers are not taking
much on forward contract, expecting as
many of them do, that prices are liable to
weaken with the free use OF the new corn
crop. Present prices are quiet.
Corn-Quoted at seize for No 8, sac for No.
3 yellow.
Late fluctuations in corn have been small.
and, with smaller speculative transactions,
tne market mas Deen weaker Tor future
months The demand for CORE TO 20 out of
this country seems good in view of the fine
crop now to come into market. with pros
poets bright for an early movement of it.
The new crop is reported curing rapidly.
Samples were scarce.
Oats-Receipts, 1870 bu; shipments, $3.50
bu. Quoted at 27l2Gl2Sc for No. . white, 2e12
027c for No. white, and 25026c for Nos. 9
and B. The movement of oats the last week
was smaller i'll all directions. Farmers have
sold enough of grain of one style or another
to get them out of any immediate general
pinch for money and do not seem disposed
to take the prices they are now bid for oats.
During the past week there was early a little
recession i'll prices recovered later and the
market for samples was fairly firm at the end
of the week.
Rye-Receipts 1850 bu; shipments, none
Quoted at S0I2c t. o. b. for No. 2.
Barley-Receipts. 1870 bu; shipments,
9, 800 bu. Steady at 40055c for poor to fine
samples Of No. 3.
Tables were pretty well supplied with sam
pies of brown barley for which there was too
little inquiry. Some sales were made but as
a rule the demand was for a better class of
grain, that there was too little of. The bar
ley mostly showed too much the effect Of
weather, not alone in change of color but to
some extent in unsound grain.
Flax-Receipts. 1870 bu; shipments, 1920.
Flax sales are based on 10c off from the Chi
cago market.
Feed-Millers held at $1,000; less than car
lots, S2c@121, with corn meal at S21@22 50.
