wheat al4lD1ad higher in Liverpool.
s The floor today has been: flooded with
bad crop reports from the winter wheat
states from hot winds and chinch bugs,
this was especially true Of Kansas and
Oklahoma. 1t is said that about 40 per
cent of the crop is gone in many counties
in theses tates and unless they have rains
soon the entire crop would be a total loss
4 These reports caused shorts to cover
pretty freely and also considerable buying
by bulls. a5sa.
( Watson Brothers and Van Dusen were
the best buyers In this market. July and
September wheat are selling at about the
same price.
July opened at Coo against 60@6O1sc
closing price yesterday and was low price
for the day. From this opening the mark
let gradually advanced to Gle at which
price it is at at time Of writing.
They will proba bly, advance the market
a.slittle further before we have a set back.

N FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS. .~
Flour--It is the same old story in the
flour market, no demand and a decreased
output. Buyers are not taking any more
goods than they possibly have to and mill
ers are storing the greater part Of the
output, which at present has been greatly
decreased, by many Of the mills shutting
31,156 bbls.

Bran and Shorts--Prices for bran and
shorts are very irregular and even at a
great discount millers find great difficulty
in disposing Of any great quantity. Brok-
ers are in many cases quoting as low as
$5.00@5. IS for bran and selling but very;
little even at that price. The output is
very small at present. Receipts, none.

Corn-There is nothing doing in the corn
market. Buyers are out of the market
almost entirely. No. 8 yellow corn is SELL
ingzat around 2514c and No. corn at 241A
@25c. Receipts, 6,270 blu. Shipments,
none.
Oats-The demand for oats has not Inn
proved with the better prices for futures
at Chicago. Receipts are rather small but
oats are quoted at 1896 and No. 3 oats sell
around 16c according to condition. Re
ceipts, 1850 blu. Shipments, 20,910 bu.
Barley-There is a fair demand for bar
ley but receipts are too small to make the
business OF any Importance and prices
are unchanged from those quoted during
the past week. Receipts, 1880 bu. Ship
ments, II, 400 bu. 0a
Rye-There is nothing doing in rye, part
~ owing to the very light receipts. No.
rye is nomnally quoted at Sic. Receipts,
l,16O blu. Shipments, 1850 blu.
under Chicago prices but receipts are too
small to make business of any Importance.
Receipts, 2.04O bu. Shipments, none.
Feed and Meal--Trade in these finished
articles is as small as ever in fact it is
doubtful if they have ever been as dull
as at present. 1t is almost impossible to
sell any goods whatever. Buyers are about
as scarce as hens teeth and millers are
not looking for any improvement, in fact
they expect that the trade will be as dull
if not worse than a present. Prices would
be lower but for tie higher prices at which
and, cracked corn is quoted at $9.75@10.O0
and mixed feed at $10.0O@10.5O and very
hard. to sell at q discount from these
prices,
! Hay-The market for hay is rather ir-
regular with the demand not quite SO good
as it has been, but prices are fairly well
maintained as the quality Of hay offered
is not as good as the trade wants But
very little good hay is coming in and the
common to poor stuff is all that is left for
the retailers to buy to supply their wants
and it brings comparatively good prices
even at that. Receipts, 96 tons. Shipments
none.
