Flour-Prices are very firm as quoted,
and the tendency is higher yet; millers
were quoting nominally unchanged to a
triile firmer this morning. Millers are
not anxious to advance prices to any
higher range, and are following the
strength in cash wheat through necessity
only. Demand for flour is stimulated in
way by the higher wheat market. but
there is ar offset to this by the refusal
of some buyers to stand for any advance.
