BRAN AND SHORTS.

BRAN AND SHORTS.
There is really little to be said Of mill
etuffs. The east and the west are still
out of joint and this makes a market for
bulk stuff difficult to quote. The west is
the place where bulk goods are sold and
as little can at present be done there is
practically no market. Chicago quotes
$1,000. Is for bran in bulk while local
millers sell sacked bran in the east at
prices corresponding with $11@11.25 for
bulk at Chicago. The result is that $11@
11.25 is quoted for Chicago points with
very little business resulting. Western
country mills not able to sack their Of
ferings for the east are obliged to sell in
the west and are doing so to the demon
alization of values. The east is still TAX
ing a fair amount of goods both for
prompt and October shipment on the bas-
is of quotations with an occasional large
lot going at somewhat less money.
FEED AND MEAL.
The market rules weak at unchanged
prices. Some talk of cutting has been in
Obliged in and no doubt considerably low
er quotations have been made, but con-
cessions do not brace up the trade and
millers are only preparing for what is
expected to occur the last of the month,
viz: the regular fall trade Today mill
ers quote corn meal and ground feed, $13.
Bolted meal in wood, per barrel, S.
HAY.
There is still good call for really fan
cy and choice hay but none is coming.
Retailers say that they would rather pay
$S@8.50 for hay than IS but for this top
price they expect fancy goods Consider
able marsh hay is coming and of coarse
quality. 1t sells at from 81 when musty
to IS when we'll cured and containing
more or less red top or other good grass.
Local farmers are delivering choice timo-
thy to consumers at low prices.
Upland hay coming is generally weedy
and sells around 81.
CORN.
Another week and no corn in store here.
No offerings Of shelled corn were found
this morning and practically none want
ed. A car Of ear corn was held at 3Sc
early but the demand for ear corn at this
time Is light. Last sales of No. corn
were at 32hc, and it may be doubted that
It would be stronger today. 1t Is difficult
at this time to maintain a premium for
ear corn.
OATS.
Stocks in store at Minneapolis this
morning were 99.56S bushels against ST.
1913 bushels a week ago and 6O,194 bushels
on August l. Today offerings were rath-
err light and prices held firm. No. quot
ed at 1SAc. Some cars of No. 3 were
punched with a car or two of no grade
and the lot sold at 1Sc. Really fancy No.
could be sold at 1870 while the same
grade but more or less black brought
from tic up while seedy and dirty oats
were a good sale at around 16hc. No
grade oats worth from Is to 18c accord
ing to quality. No. oats stained, worth
about 17hc. No. white quotable at 1917
to 1870. No. white to arrive nominally
quoted at 1Sc for limited amounts.
BARLEY.
Stocks of barley in regular houses here
are 49, 15 bushels against II, 9O5 bushels a
week ago and 6.531 on August l. Today
offerings were fairly large and Of some
what better quality than the late run
but still more or less inferior in color
Prices held steady. Stock quoted at 27c
to soc according to quality with poor stuff
not worth more than 25c.
FLAX
Minneapolis stocks more than doubled
last week. Today they stand at 1851
bushels against 32,479 bushels a week ago
and $3.50 bushels on August /. Receipts
continue large and still grade No. with
out exception. The general quotation is
about 51ac under Chicago prices.
RYE.
Stocks in Minneapolis are now 47,525
bushels against 81, 920 bushels a week ago
and 1898 bushels August l. Today offer
angs were small Buyers were in the mar
ket for No. both on spot and to arrive
at 3Sc. No. quotable at 1a@1c under No.
2, but all sales of No. must be made on
spot as buyers Will not touch that grade
to arrive owing to irregularity in quality.
