FOREIGN SALES MODERATE,

morning brought out good many waiting orders

uing good oil through. Sales are principally to
the domestic trade, and millers say that
where they were apparently on the verge of
better foreign demand, they arc again put out
of line by higher wheat prices. The outlook
for business remains favorable and grinding Is
