society comedy, LADY Windermere's

GUS place among the successes of the

Dakota in very humorous manner.
The -four market, rather than improv-
ing is getting worse. What trade there
is comes only by the hardest effort, in
driblets, and at range of prices that
are not remunerative. The sales by To-
cal mills last week appropriated 100000
barrels The domestic part is made up
of small orders coming Largely from reg
ular customers of the sellers. Prices are
about the aame, the high cost Of cash
wheat preventing much shading. While
foreigners are still in the market for
bakers, they have reduced their bids,
and there is not as much doing as 10
days ago. A little patent is taken, but
the importer is, as rule, unwilling to
pay oar prices. Quite number of mills
hare have sold all the bakers they can
make this month and we'll into June.
The direct export shipments last week
we're 4O,69O barrels against $500 barrels
the previous week.
