wheat opened strong ana hlGher, on higher
cables and wet weather i'll Europe, with large
export demand. Sellers of calls bought
against them and many shorts covered early
in the day. Later, the urgent demand being
satisfied, prices fell about cent but subse-
Qnently recovered nearly all they lost before
II o'clock, with moderate fluctuations later

Cash Wheat There was a far demand for
good wheat, with large offerings, which
made the market seem slow Poor grades
were dull. Considerable frosted wheat was
received No. northern sold principally at
92l2c, both Tor spot and to arrive. Millers
elevator people and shippers were all i'll the
market Receipts of wheat for forty eight
hours were 707 cars; shipments IA cars
Duluth received 972 cars.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output OF the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
27Ol0 bbls. Shipments, 39,2S7 bbls. Quoted
at S47t0D5. 10 for first patents; 81 600lf 70 for
second patents; S4014 50 for fancy and
bags, including red dog. Flour markets are
dull and exceedingly quiet these days, EX-
porters would buy all the low grades and
bakers tlours they could get at reasonable
rates. The patents are selling in small guam
titles to each sale, but in almost numberess
orders, so that millers appear to get through
each day with sales, on the average, cover
ing the production. Markets were easy, and
the disposition to cut was common a short
time ago. There are complaints yet, but
they are less frequent.
Bran and Shorts-Shipments, 900 tons.
Quoted at S9.50010 for bran, 81 250i2 for
shorts and Sl3 .5O015 Tor middhugs Bran
and shorts moved quite well at about late
quotations, with the latter paratively
easy. The fact that there is an export de-
mand fixes a basis below which domestic
buyers cannot expect TO force prices. With
that outlet for the surplus milIers expect to
realize about current figures for the season.
Corn-Receipts. $50 bu; shipments, 96O
bu. Quoted at 52lD55c on track. Corn has
been met with poor demand, for the sam
pies that have been offered for the past few
days. More corn has been found for sale
than 1t was believed there would be at this
time. when it was found that we had a crop
too small by 90, 00f, 900 bu to equal the preced-
ing years production. But the demand beng
reduced by the high prices. IL is now found
that we have considerable old and mer-
charitable corn left. The new crop is ma
turing WE'LL relieving all strain on the future.
Oats-Receipts, 35.350 bu; shipments 5000
bu. Quoted at 2702712c for No. white. 26
026l2c for No. white, and 24l2Q%5l2c for
No. and 3. Professional manipulation of
oats is now about out of the question The
crop is too large to make it safe Prices have
dropped lately, the depression coming main
ly from the large cash offerings. The de-
mand for shipment at the prices local con-
sumers paid was about out of the question
cut deep enough would bring shipping
orders, but shippers from other points more
than met our competition and filled the de-
mands. The arrivals were full lately, but not
excessive.
Rye-Receipts, $40 bu; shipments, 3O6O
bu. Quoted at SIC I. o. b. for No . Rye is
i'll active request and since the drop to more
reasonable p rices, from the first great rise,
this grain moved in more steady stream.
Prices picked UP Lrife the last few days of
last week. Very little business is done in a
speculative way.
Barley-Receipts,3 Is, $50 bu: shipments, 5, 760
bu: steady at 40Qj5c for poor to fine samples
of No. 3. Barley is not only easy, but it is
hard to meet buyers at all The bright, fine
samples attract attention, while the bids are
out of all proportion to the comparative
prices of other grain With the low price of
oats, the FEED grain is worth only 3L035c,
and is dull.
Flax-Receipts. $50 bu; shipments $50,
Flax sales are based on 10c off from the
Chicago market
Feed-MIlers held at S2O@9l; less than
car lots, S2O.5CG121.50, with cornmeal at S21
@22.50.
Hay-Receipts. rs tons: shipments. none.
Choice wild quoted at S7.5065S; fair wild,
SG07; poor wild, S5@6; good timothy at S10.50
oil.
