THE FLOUR MARKET
Good Healthy Tone and a Favorable
Outlook.

The week closes with the -four market IN
healthier condition that for some time Dur
ing the week the mills increased their out
put by grinding heavier, and everything
turned out was sold, some orders being
booked ahead Millers are complaining OF
the high premium for Minneapolis cash
wheat, which makes it hard to figure prices
down to competing basis. Foreign inquiry
is better than for a time, but not much busi-
ness results owing to the inability OF mill
ers to quote prices low enough to meet the
views of European buyers. Domestic de-
mand is satisfactory, and the outlook is for
a continuation of the present rate of pro-
duction through August.
For the day shipments were 64,541 barrels

market. There has been little that was good
IN quality on sale, but buyers. have been
taking everything, the bad as we'll as the
good, at steady prices. Bulls of all kinds
are 25c lower. Veals have been down and
up ana are now about steady with last week.
In the stock and feeding cattle division the
good quality stuff has found ready outlet
At all times, with the latter selling strong.
Medium grades and down to common have
been slow. There has been little demand for
this stuff as the regular buyers have shown
no desire to touch it, and most sales have
been catch affairs, with prices anywhere
from steady to 25e lower, Stock and feed

especially the heavy cows. are steady and
active, while the common lightweight COWS
have been slow and weak
Hog receipts are running more than double
| the corresponding period a year ago. The
total for this week is about 1900. against

to 80 lower in order that it may be in shape

The quality of the hogs coming here con
tinues very common.
/ Sheep receipts have been heavy but with
only a part on sale. Receipts for the week
are about 5000 head, against 1900 last week
