cash Wheat-The demand was good for
spot wheat, with the millers the principal
buyers. The prices paid were rather above
the closing figures of yesterday, as the sales
were made generally while there was some
firmness in figures. A few lots were bought
TO go outside TO mills. but no great quantity
for other purposes was taken TO ship, milling
being the principal use for it. Receipts were
smaller, and only moderate quantity camo
on the tables.

grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
1890 bbls. Shipments, IL, loo bbls; quoted
at S4.60@5 for first patents; 81 .3004.5O for
export bakers; 81. SU02. % for low grades ia
bags, including red dog. The bulk of patents
is held at Sl.6U@4.75, with some at about
$3.50 and none selling at above that now
probably while some goes as low as $3.50
perhaps. The demand is rot brisk, and after
all there is quite a fair movement. The in
quiTy for bakers is beyond the power of local
mills to supply at the current prices. From thd
United Kingdom there is demand TO take il all
with the low grades also. IL the demand for
patents was more active on domestic accOuus
the situation would be very satisfactory
