FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
TT .OTIP


There was little or nothing doing in
flour yesterday and this morning they
were too well filled with the accumulated
correspondence to allow an estimate as
to the exact status of the trade. The out
put is still heavy, and shipments are
large. Stocks are beginning to be filled
up again in the East, but as they are not
large enough to cause ALARM as for some
time they have been running abnormally
low. Prices today are unchanged.

BRAN AND SHORTS.
The feeling in the East appears to be
little better, but factors there are not
allowing an advance. Millers are Offering
freely on the spot at quotations and sell
ing enough to keep out from undo, Sc
rious accumulations. Some sales are re-
ported for October shipment, and consid-
cradle is booked for Is days shipment
For all these goods the price is based on
spot values which are herewith quoted:

lbs. $1O@1O.25; shorts, s1O.75; middlings,

The West is still buying little or moth
ing.
Minneapolis stocks of corn show little
change from week ago, standing 5,415
bu against 5,744 bu last week. Today the
offerings were again light, and feed mill
ers were in the market for the stock. No.
onry, cold Of h,,%
price could not be depended upon for
anything like a good sized quantity.
For No. to arrive the price quoted was
nominally 36c, but it is believed that lit
tie if any could be had at that price.
OATS.
Offerings of spot oats were freely large
this morning, and the feeling was a little
easy. The demand for oats to arrive ap-
pears little better on account of millers
finding little difficulty in supplying the
present wants. No. white oats on spot
quoted at 1S1k@19c with 1870 bid for the
same to arrive, No. selling at about 1Sc,
with few extra cars going at 1874 @1Shc.
On the other hand oats more or less seedy
and dirty or of poor color but grading
No. were worth proportionally less than
the regular price of 18c. No grade oats are
QuOtable at all the way from II to 1Sc,
according to quality. but lately only
comparatively few no grade oats have

S4,471 bu against 5O,217 bu last week.
BARLEY.
Stocks during the last week increased
about 1000 blu, standing at 1897 bu
against 1922 bu last week. Today fair
receipts and the feeling was only steady.
Such stock as is coming is quoted at u
@33c according to quality.
RYE.
The market was sick. Offerings of No.
e. both spot and to arrive, were free at
BIC, but up to a late hour the best bid on.
either was 361sc. with some preference
shown for stock to arrive. No. quoted
about 1c under No. 2.
FLAX.
Stocks here are o. 632 bu against 1852
blu a week ago. Offerings today were
large and of good quality. Some very
clean stock is being shown. The price is
still on the basis of &c under Chicago for
No. 1.
HAY
Receipts continue light but the demand
is small. few cars of good northern
Minnesota hay were offered and brought
1907 so. Fancy upland hay is worth SO
but no more. Farmers continue unload
ing large quantities of good loose hay
into the barns of consumers at low val
ues. This hay stands in the way of the
baled article and prevents an advance on
account of small receipts of the latter.
