sion and when some condition it attached

baaies some buyers is that the mills are
now obliged to ask about the same prices
which were quoted when May wheat Ct

has brought a tendency on the part Of buy
ers to ask proportional reduction ia the
price of flour. They fail to see that cash
wheat here during the same time has de.

HAY-There is no excitement in the hay
market. In fact there is not even a gen,
uine market. The offerings are small and
are sold out in peddling sort of a way and
