Sleadiness was the leading feature in the
early wheat markets yesterday morning.
There was apparent feveriShness among
buyers. They wanted to get i'll at the bot
tom, but many feared the bottom would be a
little lower ana they waited at firstand went
in later, arguing that the steadiness added
confidence. Some insisted that much lower
prices may obtain, but that is sure to be so
on weak market, and expressed merely the
condition that makes prices down where
they are. Receipts were 500 cars here, 664 i'll
DIluth and 263 in Chicago The movem enE
is moderate in the interior. Cables were
weak.
CASH WHEAT
The early demand for cash wheat from
millers was good and No. northern began
tossell near Csc. Later, when the break came
in May wheat the track market followed it
down, and sales were made around Gle for
No. L northern Wheat that was not really
high quality went below 64c, and i'll some
cases considerably below for thin wheat.
Considerable fair rejected wheat sold from
5006Oc to ship and to improve. No. north
ern went mostly at 5Cl150c, with extremes
above and below that price. No grade was
very slow.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour sold slowly with prices weak. About
the same production is promised this week
as was had last week. The sales do not keep
up with the production. There must be a
change after awhile or less of the milling
capacity will be operated. The cheapness of
patent -four continued TO restrict demand for
bakers, which is bought when il is bought,
by reason of inducements offered by low
price of sellers. Low grades are dull also.
Patents will sell when offered at concessions.
The added daily output of mills grinding yes
terday win probably aggregate 30. AGO bbls.
Shipments 81, $50 bbls. QIoted Mt S3.600390
for first patents; SD. 45GD3.65 for second pat
cnts 81. 2502. rs for fancy and export bakers :;
ST. 1G01l. 35 for low grades, i'll bags, including
red dog.
Bran and Shorts-Millfeed went off pretty
we'll for the Western trade. The East is not
buying yet heavily, as bran is offered there,
it is said, cheaper than it can be shipped from
here. The supply sent east of the lakes be-
fore the close of navigation has not been con-
sumed. That, pieced out with fresh grinding
there, meets the demand yet. although
inquiries are coming there for fresh supplies.
The old may be getting low, as would seem
from recent inquiries. Bran sold at 5000. 50
in bulk and shorts at S0.5C@f0;5o
Corn-Markets were easy. The movement
at primary points showed an activity about
as has been for month back. May sold
down fraction after the opening. and then
fiuctuated lightly. Cables were easy and
foreign demand slow. Considerable corn
was offered. No. 9 sold at 32l2c. Receipts,
$3.50 bu; shipments l., 45).
Oats-Oats went at aboutthe prices of Sat
urday for May delivery. The demand was
slow, with an easy tendency. The movement
holds along at about the same rate. Oats
were steady and i'll fair demand No. selling
at 29G030c and No. white at 3}O30l2c. Re-
