No changes in Wheat, but trading is very
slow; futures are easier; milling descrip-
tions are tending downward. Flour has
been unchanged for some time past; trad
ing is active; to-day's receipts from all
sources were over 100 barrels. Barley
continues easy; choice lots of feed offering
at top figures without buyer. Oats are

fancy stock, which move fairly welli the
market IS weak, generally, ana prices are
tending downward.
