Chamber Of Commerce,

Wheat futures were quiet but strong
er. Offerings were light, and there was
not much demand. Cables were stead
Ter. Private Liverpool cables said India
and Russia were Offering wheat freely
for spring shipment. Cearances from
the four ports were $1,000 bu wheat,
10000 packages flour. $1,000 bu corn and
$4,000 bu oats. The amount of wheat on
ocean passage increased 2SS.000 bu. The
American visible supply of wheat in7
creased S0S,000 blu, and the English de-
creased $50, 600 bu. Paris public cables
were easier for both wheat and -four.
Very little export buying was reported.
CASH WHEAT.
The demand for track wheat was
good, and Nc. northern sold relatively
higher than May. Most of the safes
were made at about Sc under May.

receipts were moderate for this season
of the year.

lowing. Sales of cash wheat are OH the

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-rhe market is quiet and dull.
Outside of the reduction in freight rates
of sc per 100 lbs to the East there is no
special change in the situation, Millers
claim that track wheat is some &c too
high compared with the bids they get
on flour. Sales are reported as light.
Of course, scattering sales are being
made all the time, and the aggregate
makes fair sized total, but the market
is slow. Shipments, Is, 60 bblS; quoted

3.35 for second patents; 81 50@1 80 for
