| Minneapolis-The flour output OF Min
neapolis on the crop year reached the inn
mense figures of 12,5770 600 barrels. or over
one million barrels per month. This is a
gain OF two million barrels over any pre-
vious year, and more than three millions
greater than was ground on the crop of
1S94-5. The Minneapolis output this week
will approximate last weeks figures.
Flour was more quiet last week, sales be-
ing under 100000 barrels. AS rule ex-
rates and falling foreign exchange making
a barrier not easily surmounted. Foreign
ers want flour, but these two factors make
it difficult for naillers to trade with them.
Clears are in better demand for export
than they have been. Low grades are
also moving moderately well. The do
nestle trade last. week was fairly good.
though no one seemed to care to- place
very large orders at a time Domestic
prices of patent are down about 10c. For
eign quotations are held shade higher,
owing to high freights and low exchange.
Exports were $4,000 barrels VS.. 129,10O
week before 9O,4OO in 1895, and $1,000 in
1894 Considerable sales have lately been
made of bran for export, and since the
mills have orders ahead, they are firner
on prices.
is uncertain Trade in flour last week
was unchanged. Eastern markets were
dull though some stuff moving, millers
holding for about $S.75 per barrel in Bos-
I ton. Some exporting was done, and buyers
and sellers are not far apart. Bran and
shorts continue to be sold for export to
United Kingdom. Otherwise feed is life
less. New wheat promises to be extreme
ly glutinous and excellent for milling. 10
cal millers are exercised about getting sup
plies Of wheat, owing to the inspection

cline in foreign exchange and advance in

Roland since importers are bidding about
the same. there is not much chance to do
business. Prices are unchanged, though
millers are inclined to ask more because
Of declining values of feed. Ocean rates

ST. Louis & Observation-Disclosures
bought heavily last week and paid good
prices Foreign sales. Approximately 10o,-
oo0a barrels. Higher ocean rates had a
tendency to interrupt business. Patent
and extra fancy was most wanted, low
grade going slowly. Dom este trade was
generally quiet, southern being only fair
and eastern light. Prices ruled firm.
