low grades of flour. The frost predictions
for the Northwest, given out by the signal
service, created considerable uneasiness, as
much of the northern wheat is not ripe.
Still, the feeling in speculative circles was 10
sell against the bulge for a turn, to be taken
later in the day. These sales brought de-
preston, as expected. December wheat
opened at Sl.C2 and closed at Sl.01. Septem-
Der wheat opened at S94c and closed at 9lSsc'

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding, yesterday will probably aggregate
$4,000 bbls; shipments, 80 495 bbs; quoted at
S5.lc@5.50 for first patents; S49O0515 for
second patents, S4.E@t95 for fancy and ex-
bags, including red dog. The demand for
low grade tiours to ship to Europe is large,
and has in consequence enhanced prices
The prices are some 20 to 30 per cent higher
than few weeks ago. Bakers flours are also
stiff in comparison with the high quality
patents. Excessive European importatons
this year are from countries and sections
usually raising their own food productions
In buying, these people are not reaching for
fancy styles of bread, but for the life-sustain-
ing but cheaper Sorts. Patents are moving
fairly for home use.
Bran and Shorts-Shipments, 1910 tons.
Quoted at $40. 25D10 IS for bran. SIS. 250i5.7 IS
for shorts and Si1Q1lS for middlings. In
order to get bran out ahead of the rise III
freight, the BUYERS who have nearby orders
to supply bid up for it as well as tor shorts.
The latter sympathize with low grade -four
also in pushing for recognition among high
priced articles used for low grades OF bread.
The output is large, but the high price of
corn causes large substitution of millfeed.
Corn-Receipts, ~ 20 bu: shipments none.
Quoted at 62@64c on track. The several esti-
mates of the corn crop for this year put it at
about 1000. 900 bushels. although some are
per cent below that amount. There are
doubts of final maturity i'll some states. If
they could be counted upon as certain
of maturity the higher figures would
probably be realized. Speculative feeling is
yet unsettled and futures continue TO move
up and down with unusual Vigor. Demand
for spot corn is fair.
OalS-hecelplS. lU.oZU Du; shipments, O.UZU
bu; quoted at 2Sl2@30l2c by sample. Oats
are low as compared with other grain pro-
auctions and spectators are inclined to look
with some favor upon futures in them at the
low prices prevailing. Exporters are pick
ing them up where the early movement was
large. Here the new crop arrivals have not
been large enough yet TO give requisite
amounts for large shipments.
Rye-Receipts, 1900 bu; shipments, $50 bu;
quoted at S'0s7c for sample cars of new on
track. There is a good shipping demand for
rye and sales were at a better range This
market is still unsettled and liable to large
fluctuations, owing to the excited state of
European affairs with respect TO rye produc-
ton, prohibition. supply and consumption.
Barley-Receipts, none; shipments, none;
nominal at 4J@55c for poor to fine samples
of No. 3.
Flax-Receipts. none; shipments, none.
Flax sales are based on 100llc Off from the
Chicago market.
Feed-Mllers held at s21. 75@?2 so; less than
car lots, S22.23@2375, with cornmeal at
$2o.75@S2l,75.
Hay-Receipts, 60 tons: shipments, none:
choice wild, new. quoted at s. $500 30; fair
wild. S7@9; poor wild, S607; good timothy.
S1l0ll.5 new. The hay market is steady
in a general wav, and some choice upland
from Iowa sold above quotations. The offer
fngs of choice were not excessive. though of
ordinary wild the market was sufficietly well
