The Saint Paul globe., 1897-01-16

increase this week. Flour prices generally
have not yielded to- the decline in grain, and
are not likely to unless heavier break oc-
ours. The Southern demand for corn, espe-
cially white, and its product, is broadening.
Four ports cleared today: Wheat 155, ,665;
flour, IS, ATS bbls, equal $685. 800 wheat 371 062
corn.
Kansas City: There was an active demand
here late yeserday from millers of the South
west and Southeast for cash wheat. One year
ago Kansas City had in store II, 500 900 bu of
wheat, today 1t has 400 900 bu, and an active
demand for all suitable for milling.
New York Exporter wires: Our today's let
ter from Antwerp says Argentine exports will
not exceed 5000, 900 bu. This is from the Iarg4
est Argentine firm in the trade.
The low rate of 15c per 100, all rail, equal
to SC for wheat to the seaboard, which the
trade believes is being made, is responsible
for the wheat movement East at this time,
but the need for it is behind 1t all, and the
fact Is phenomenal.
