- Cables quoted Liverpool steady in prices
for wheat with fair demand. The general
markets on this side opened quiet with the
local feeling at first rather dull, and tending
TO some weakness compared with others.
The larger movement in the Northwest was
cause of caution in buying for July delivery,
for it is questionable as to how much is yet
in farmers hands to sell. Some bad crop re-
ports came from Indiana and rust is generally
feared in the winter wheat. The supply of
cash wheat was heavy and the market slow,
but at the same time about $50 cars
were sold from the tables. Local millers
were slow, buyers being well supplied from
late heavy receipts. A good many cars went
direct to mills. which helped to check the
demand. At 1c over July No. northern sold
very well. but il any more was asked sales
were difficult to make: Considerable bust
ness was done in the better classes of low
grade. The poorer qualities were slow. The
following were the closing quotations: No.

grades in bags. including red dog. Flour is
steady and holders are firm. Some complain
of light sales but admit that forward sales
keep them busy to fill contracts hence their
tirmness. One miller reported a strong de-
mand at quotations.
bran. S90o.5O for shorts, and S1O@l0.50 for
middlings Nothing new in these commOdi-
ties Market quiet. Bran and shorts are in
