Flo Ir-Millers were asking steady prices
today, and generally reported a fair trade,
although the demand is somewhat below the
production. The mills are still running OH
about four-ffthS capacity. The following,
relative 10 the conditions in Europe, is taken
from the last Dornbush received:
Mark Lane, Liverpool, Bristol, Glasgow
and Leith have all the same story of ''inani-
ton" "stagnatiou." great depression" or
any other doleful adjective applicable to a
state of trade closely bordering on the ''un-

Following are mille-s' asking prices in cot
ton sacks 9S and 10 pounds: Rye flour. per
Dbl. pure, 5! 20; xxx, $40; standard, 81 10;
