show an increase: this week, as two mills,
Gle for some time have started. The flour

Bile: one, in that the sales appropriated
70O, GOO bbls About the middle of the week,
particularly. Thursday, there was heavy
selling of patent for export, at quotations
around rs for London, and, with most con-
GERMS foreign; orders constituted one-third
t. one-haN Of the whole weeks business.
There was something done in clear, but
it was small, compared with patent sales,
Later in the-Week,' on the advancing
wheat, the domestic trade took hold
|ibriskly,: and most Of the n1illers made
large sales. Friday, the domestic price
or .pa tent flour was marked up 15c, and
buyers made "a rush to take up any offers
that millers. had out. The result was that
that days transactions were heavy. An
other advance Of 1Oc was made Saturday,
and again buyers made lively times IN ac-
cepting unprote offers Of n,ilers. Con-
seuuently, at the 10c advance, there W.:
active buying, but at the 25c little DISPOSE
ton was shown to take hol.. The heavy
drops in wheat in the past two days have
unsettled the market very much, and
trade Is expected to be pretty quiet. For
eigners nave been unwilling to advance
their bids very much above eos for Lon
don, and, with ocean rates considerab],
higher and foreign exchange lower, there
has been little chance to DO export tusi-
ness in the past three days. EXPORT ship
ments were 10000 bbls VS. $500 week be-
fore, 36, 500 in 1895 and 66,40o in 1894. Part
of last weeks shipment went from lake
storage points.
Observation-Disclosures production may
be a little heavier this week. Last week,
foreign sales on the break in wheat Were
quite large, prices obtained being los Sd
and 20s C.. j. f. liverpool. Clear also sold
very well at relatively better prices than
the domestic trade would pay. Domestic
trade improved appreciab1y late In the
week, but was not as heavy in volume as
the millers could desire. At the 25c adj
vance in domestic prices for patent, buy
ing is again light. Higher ocean rates
work against export transactions A re-
duction In lake and rail rates Is being
sought, and hopes are entertained of the
concessions being granted. Export ship
ments of flour were 81 800 bbls VS.. $4,000
bbls week before, 22,900 in 1885,. and 1900

transit are 2ll 900 bbls, VS.. 218.000 week
