The markets for wheat were easier on ac-
count of disappointment of late buying with
the increase of wheat on passage and the
larger exports from India the last week than
had been expected. The weather in the
Northwest YVES not so unfavorable. The gen
eral result was break all around that took
down corn and oats prices with the wheat
Rains in Kansas and Nebraska caused de-
cline In corn, which made attempts to rally
later. The increase of wheat ON passage was
2.OSf,0J0 bu above last week. Cables were
firm on wheat at Liverpool and London.
After the main break there was fair buying
for rally. but later the market was dull.
The supply of cash wheat was smaller, bat
with the exception OF No northern, the
market was slow. No. northern sold read
lily at sic for the best wheat. Samples that
were soft sold l2c lower, while few cars
that were very fancy sold al slice No. .
wheat and the grades below were slow. Sell.
ers were trying to secure an advance to cor
respond with that on No / northern, and
buyers were working against it. The follow
ing are the closing quotations: No l hard,
on track, SIC; No. 1 northern. August, 75s4c;
September. 75l2c; December, rise: on track,
SJl2c; No. northern, on track 7307ic.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
rlour-Receipts. 525 bbls; shipments, 49, 459
bbls; quoted at Si@4.40 for first patents;
S3.S0@410 for second patents: S31563 40 for
fancy and export bakers: Sl.20D2. Is for low
grades in bags. including red dog. There is
little to be said regarding the position OF
=.
and some millers report a fair domes
tic demand. but regarding the de-
mand for export they are somewhat retcent.
There is. however, much better feeling in
the trade and confidence daily growing as
to the immediate future. The vacillating
course of the wheat market causes buyers to
hold aloof from doing anything except sup
plying their Immediate wants. There is no
material change other than holders are a lii
tie more firm and predict higher prices.
Corn-Receipts, $40 bu; shipments. none;
quoted at 43@4Sc for good dry No. 3, $50
41l2c for No. 5 yellow, and 3S94il2c for dry
tive markets, and had considerable influence
on the cash article. Reports, almost without
exception, were discouraglng as to the grow
ing crop. Holders, therefore, were strong in
their position, and the few sales that were
made brought higher prices than could be
realized yesterday. The present outlook
would warrant the hope for still higher
prices. Corn, however. is high for this sea-
son of the year, and dealers should move
with caution. The excitement in the mar
ket in futures was hardly reflected in the
cash market: holders, however, are firm and
ask higher figures than those quoted.
Barley-Receipts, GO bu; shipments none.
Barley is slow. The season is passed for
all mailing purposes, and the demand is,
II any. simply for feeding purposes. The
property is held nominally at 3S046c for
No. J, and No. Is 3O94jc, according to sam
pie.
