FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
FLOUR-Trade in flour is very unsatis-
factory at present. The demand is very
slow, and it would appear that the miliers
filled the country up with -four on the last
bulge in wheat, and the country dealers
are not in need of much flour at present,
and they are buying in hand-to-mouth
way that is very disappointing. Foreign
ers are not doing anything to speak of,
and their bids are much too low to allow
the millerS any profit. Receipts, 725 bblS;
shipments, 4S.367 bbls.
