FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.

BARLEY,
Stocks in Minneapolis houses stand today
at 114,211 bu against S69l5 bu week ago
These large increases are the result Of the
disfavor in which this quality of barley is
held at other markets, preventing ship
ments out and also the fact that masters
want very little or none. Local specula-
tors appear willing to pay a much higher
price than can be realized elsewhere The
quality of barley which is selling at 21c here
will only bring 2212c at Chicago. Today Of
ferings are fairly large considering the de-
Most cars go at less than 25c, while some
cars of the best go at around &c. Really
choice bright stock would no doubt bring a
little above 30c but to sell that high it
must be better than anything yet received
from this crop.
Local stocks show another fair increase
standing at 3,031 bu, against 106,0S1 bu
week ago. Offerings during the week have
purposes and Considerable has been '' taken
into store here as a result. Several cars
have graded lower than No: l, something
new crop. Offerings continue large and
there is good demand at about 51ac under
Chicago price. For prices here see table of
sales.
The market is an unchanged position
more than some milsl are inclined to reduce
the price of patents DC in order to keep
things moving. The trade absolutely re-
fuses to pay old prices for anything and
througho the trade. thew are in good Cd p e
siton to hold off for time at elast. Spec
ulators are out of the market entirely and
this regular lot trade demands lower
prices. Meanwhile millers are in a good
position to insist upon a maintenance of
values, but it is the policy of all mills to sell
a little each day regardless of the amount
sold ahead and the result is the demands of
the routine trade for a reduction of DC on
patents have been met by quotation to
that effect. first patents, So. lod3.5O; End do
$2.90Ql2.20.
BRAN AND SHORTS.
There is + tax x this mornn$ n Of bran sacked
a basis of $7.S5 here in bulk. but such quota
tons here could not be confirmed. Bran in
bulk could no doubt be had at around S. %
but some mills are really out of the market
and will see the bottom of their order books
before allowing stock to go out at such

into the market as s. g., seller oo Bra n in bulk

There is little to There is little to say Of
the hay market today. Very little was re-
Eood at Ee aney at
tations but such stock as is coming goes
at very irregular prices and is very difficult
''9p'''e F FEED AND MEAL.
There is still little doing: but mil!ers are
beginning to show some little activity in
attempting to start trade All the corn
coming is being ground and some millers
are even reducing their price little to
make sales. There is talk as low s12 %

at that figure. Corn meal and ground feed
is at s12 2501250. according to quantity

Another week and no corn in store here
The feed milers have been taking the ar
rivals each day to grind and this has just
about been sufficient to fill the small de-
mand for the finished products. Today lit

best bid was soc for No: 3.

CHICAGO GRAIN.
Chicago, Oct. 7.-Wheat was in the
hands of the bears today. The increased
arrivals at Chicago and the heavy move
.ment in the Northwest with large world s
shipments influenced the opinions Of trad
