ord says the production in flour in Mime
apolis last week was 1S5,20S brls. which is
early In January, and this is at the rate
Of 80, ,S35 brls daily. Shipments for the week
ended Saturday were l7O75O brls, against
shipments of 162,4 ,49l in the same week last
year. The direct exports of -four during
the past week were ,436 brls, against A.
21 brls the previous week, with 42,5l1 brls
for two weeks ago and $3.50 brls three
weeks ago. 1t is noticeable, therefore, that
as the season advances the tendency is to
greater production OF flour, and also TO
trade. Thes market was quiet and values
steady, with patents selling in barrels at
50. .25a345, bakers at S1.70a2, with some
baker held above 81 and some patents held
above $3.45. a part of the weeks produc-
ton was applied on previous sales, as grain
sales did not equal the grain production.
