foreign demand slow. Middle qualities, or
bakers and low grades, that were TOO good to
sell as feed. did not sell so well as either pat
ents or red dog. The mills were grinding at
about the same rate as last week. making
about 30, 500 bbls day here. In the interior
about the same in activity is noted as here.
