FLOUR AND COARSE GRAIN.



Nothing has occurred to change the
situation in the -four market. Buying is
liberal with some Of the mills not at all
anxious to extend the number Of orders
for prompt shipment. Everyone, how
ever, would be glad to sell more for De
cember and January shipment. Values
hold steady with buyers inclined to de-
rnand concessions in view of the decline
in wheat, while the rnillers point to the
big decline in millstuffs which makes
relatively higher values in flour neces-
sary. The following quotations are net
at the mills with perhaps an occasional
concession allowed, where conditions
especially favor a trade.
BRAN AND SHORTS.
Affairs in the East rather indicate that
the turning point in the fedd stuffs mar
ket has been seen. Buyers are now a
little more active in ordering out goods
already bought. and also in bidding for
Boston. That is where brokers were get
ting $13.75 for bran delivered in 200-lb
sacks, they are now able to sell limited
quantities at $14. This makes the net
price IS here in bulk. Shorts is full
cheaper than bran and is sold under
greater pressure. The West is still do
ing little but there are conditions visible
which Enthusiastically point to revival
of trade in that quarter before great
while.

FEED AND MEAL.
Corn is coming more freely and prices
easier has not particularly helped the
miller TO larger profits. Lower prices
are now quoted for the mill products.
The general quotation for coarse prod
ucts was $l1 this morning. Bolted meal
in wood is quoted at ST. COOL 65 per bbl
HAY.
Offerings show no Improvement

for good stock continues sharp but poor
stock, while going out nicely is taken
with reluctance AMI at low figures.
CORN.
New corn on spot is quoted at about
261ac with special sales made up to 27c
and on the other hand a car of rather
doubtful quality sells at 26c. Best bid
for this corn to arrive is 25c. Old No. s
corn is in demand at 27@2Sc.
OATS.
The market rules about steady with
carriers ready to take No. 8 white at tic.
but the supply is limited to the wants of
the local trade, which is willing to pay
17Mc for the same grade. No. 3 oats
generally quoted at 161ac. with sales of
choice cars ranging up to tic and, on the
other hand, rather common stock, a. lit
tie light or off color, is a good sale at 16c.
No. 3 seedy or dirty quoted at 151s@16Ac,
according to condition No. mixed
worth 15@151ac according to the proper
ton of white stock in the mixture. No
grade oats are worth 14@16Mc accord
ing to quality.
BARLEY.
There Is fair demand for all arrivals
at wide range of price. Poor, light,
off color grain brings about 22c, while
fair quality sells at around Csc. Choice
grain is wanted at as high as around 28c.

There is an easy market for rye. Late
yesterday sales were made at 3214c for
No. 2 against 321@c earlier. At the close
of the session &c was best bid. Today
a few buyers were looking for stock but
insisted on getting it at yesterdays clos
ing price. .

are constantly in the market on the
basis of &c under Chicago price for No. l
stock. For prices see sales Closing quo
tations are given in another column.
