second patents; S3.9004.40 for fancy and ex-
port BAKERS: SlS00l2 b for low grades in
bags, including red dog. Flour moved less
freely perhaps to-day, due it was thought to
tendency of wheat to decline yesterday

for some time. Buyers of the high qualities
hesitated to take more than the ordinary
small supply so many of them have con-
tented themselves with for most of this crop

claim full late prices or hold OH to their
