Cir ed TO Toe. At noon May was steady

some increase

stronger. No. 1 sold at $170 for soma
Other trades were made in No / at 81 SO
Ql.6912, and later some sold at 81. 6S. RE
Jected went at $1.67. Demand came from
buyers of all classes and there was not
enough flax on the cash tables to go
around. Trades were made in some round
lots to come out of elevators, which is a
reversal of late conditions, when eIeya
tors were buying freely to put into store.
Elevator stocks may possibly increase
again in this weeks showing, but the iax
that changed hands today will probably
come out soon and will tend to hold
back further increases unless the daily
receipts here should turn larger than the
trade generally expects
