The -four market is decidedly stronger
snd higher The big milling concerns
are very bullsh in the advces to agents
here
Cornmeal is we'll held; GA tmeal firm
Corn was hrmer probably following
in the wake of wheat. The demand
locally is better.
oats ruled very steady to fraction
higher at Chicago. while this market is
firm.

there are reports of good crops i'm many

to shortage of good to best hay the
market is likely to rule steady to firmer
for some time. Rye straw is fairly
steady. Millfeod is rather easy in quo
tstions. although the offerings are not
especially large 1t is explained in the
trade that less feed is now going into
use and will continue rather less in de-
mand till the cooler months come on:

better. Prices are firmer especially on
