Chamber of Coanmerce

The wheat markets opened weak on lowe
cables, and the market sold lower in the first
hour. Indian shipments to the L. X. last
week were reported at $4,000 qrs and TO the
continent 10000 qrs. Liverpool private ca
bles were weak for wheat and 112d lower for
spot, and l2d lower for futures. Other grain
futures sympathized somewhat with wheat
Several causes were credited with the re-
sponsibilty for the sharp decline with gem
eral dullness, here and in Europe, having
considerable to do with it. Accommodations
at country storage points were light, the in
crease at such iu the Northwest being only
$1,000 bu for the week.
There was a fair demand for wheat that
could be used for grinding by local millers
yesterday. but lots that were worth less than
50055c were almost unstable; nobody
northern was all the way from S70SSc with
the bulk sold at 87l3c. Only a fewcars Of
very fancy wheat brought outside figures
No sold principally at about SOC, No. 3,
higher.
Wheat screening were very scarce with
several orders in that could not be filed.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
FlOur-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate

second patents; S39lQ14.25 for fancy and ex-
port bakers; Si.7502.75 for low grades, in
bags. including red dog Flour went out
steadily on fresh sales. but not actively.
This Is not strange so early after the begin
glng of the year. What may develop toward
the latter part of the week, i'll the way of in
creased business, is looked forward to with
some confidence. Still. not much improve
ment is hoped for before about the middle of
the month. Forward sales. with the addi-
tion9l fresh sales made daily, will prevent
much hardship on account of full demand
Prices of flour are easy
Bran and Shorts Shipments, 1905 tons
Quoted at S10010.50 for bran, Sl0@l050 for
shorts, and Sl1@12 for middlngs. Millstuf

large concerns ask SIC. rs. Forward sales re
about made up compared with the large
quantity sold ahead month ago. Prom pit
delivery is said to be obtainatle now. Shorts
are about the same i'll price as bran.
