FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.

Trade in flour continues small with the
bulk of the bids coming lower than what
the millers' ideas regard as the proper
thing, and such orders are promptly turn
ed down. There Is still considerable busi-
ness doing with Eastern points, Boston
paying prices netting 1925 on the basis
of present rates. The Western trade Is
much better than usual although some
what lighter than it was fortnight ago.
While buyers in many quarters are dis
posed to insist on a reduction OF prices,
rnillers are we'll enough sold ahead to
warrant their withdrawal from the mar
ket without jeopardizing their interests.
They insist on a fair profit and while the
present values allow only small profit,
there is some profit and millers feel
three years, they are entitled to what
they are getting, at least while retailers
are taking good profits based on present
values. ty 49,, -4s+.4t e1g

lers would like to see them but at the

sition to insist on values for goods on
track here at unchanged ia tes regardless
of freight advances to occur next week.
Some of the mills in the best position are
even quoting an advance OF SOC, prefer
ring to see their books entirely clear ratl-
er thanto allow a concession at this time.
Today's quotations stand unchanged but
it must be remembered that occa asionally
where conditions favor a trade and where
competition with outside mills occurs,
these values are shaded by some mills.

the raw articles cost just about as much
as heretofore. They quote today ground
