BRAN AND SHORTS. III .5 ii
Stocks everywhere are showing accum-
ulation. The output has continued large ~,
and buying shows no improvement. The
recent low rates quoted by brokers and
interior have left the market in such a
den1oralized condition that it has been
a long time since trade has been on SO
unsatisfactory a basis. Millers can sell
at the prices they have been quoting:
Millers feel confident that the lake and
rail ra ties will close as early as Nov. 10,
and hence refuse to sell for delivery after
that time at prices now ruling based on
present rates. Bran can be sold on the
basis of $13.75, Boston, in 200 lb sacks and
at New York at the above rates less the
difference in freights, but the mills here
generally demand 25c more than that or
place their output in their own storage
east of the lakes. The west continues
out Of the market. In fact there Is no
WAC A. .,f oil Noi vx-ro an arr
well supplied with other feed at present
and this is the only trade TO be looked
for this year, as farmers will want moth,
ing in this line. The abundance of vege-
tables of all kinds and the cheapness of
potatoes in the west will naturally bring
these articles into favor as feeding mate
rails on the farm, and this largely at
the expense Of millstuffs. Bran in any
shape Is still quoted by the mills on the
basis of So in bulk here. Shorts can be
had on the same basis and the trade ap-
pears to favor the bran at the same cost.

FEED AND MEAL.
The mills for some time past have been
selling freely in anticipation Of better Of
ferings Of corn. But these offerings have
not yet appeared and the buyers who
have the feed and meal coming are be-
ginning to get anxious. Meanwhile MILL
ers are unable to, get corn enough to
grind Tor these orders and are at a loss
to know how they can satisfy these de-
mands. Orders are still coming rather
thick but cannot be accepted for prompt
delivery. The price quoted is still so
although there is some talk of adding
Csc. This quotation is for feed or meal in
car lots. Bolted meal in fair request at
$1.75@1.80 per barrel. package included.
- HAY ..-+ - s.t5s e 5..4F g..
Offerings of hay continue very small
owing to the fact that the car famine is
unrelieved. Stock coming in is largely
wire grass and weedy. upland. Wire
mixed with it goes at $5@G50 according
to the mixture. Great Northern hay, If
good, sells at s7@7.5o. Really good up
land hay is worth IS and if the stock is
really good wild hay will easily sell at
$7.50@S. There is nominal quotation of
$3.50 for fancy upland.
& CORN.
No relief has yet been experienced by
the corn market, from the marked scare
ity of the spot article which has existed
during the past three weeks. Millers are
anxious bidders but can only get an oc-
casional car or two. The scarcity Of cars
has something to do with this no doubt
and also the fact that farmers have little
time to give to the preparing of corn for
market at this time, has some effect.
Prices are firm. No. 3, corn, if of good
quality, is nominalIy quoted at 3Oc. New
corn Oh ear sells ut about &c. discount
from old No. 8 price.
OATS. ~
The market holds about steady. Chi
cago market is showing some advance
and this is brining carriers into this mar
ket at these values. No. white oats were
in demand at 17Ac No. 8 generally
quoted at 1870 with choice cars held at
1916. Rather common stock a. little off
color sells at around Ice. If seedy or dir
ty lower in proportion with condition.
No mixed quoted at 15@1531c accord
ing to the mixture. No grade, 14@161ac
according to quality.
BARLEY.
There is a dull, quiet market. Stock
quoted from 20@22c for thin stock to 28c
for choice, bright p gEaln.
The market is quiet and easy. No. 2
both on spot and to arrive Is quoted at
33c. No. 3 is worth about cent less
FLAX.
There is quiet fax market. Little
forward business is being done. For
prices see table Of sales. Closing prices
are given elsewhere.
