THE FLOUR TRADE

Minneapolis mills sold more -four than
the week before. and shipping directions
vanced slightly under an improved de-
mand. Among sales reported was one of
5000 barrels TO the orient.
Outside mills in the Northwest had a
Detter demand, but now are still running
half time
st. Louis millers still complain of dull
business, though towards the end of last
week they sold more flour and realized
advances of 5Q10c.
Kansas mills sold more flour to the
Eastern markets and found slight i'm
states. Wheat is moving more freely from
farmers and cash wheat is on a better
basis compared with Chicago prices.
Toledo millers continue their policy of
reduced output. in view of light flour sales
Wheat is moving more freely in their ter
ritory. Mills have ample supplies Of
wheat.
Chicago mills ground more -four last
week and their sales showed an increased
volume and higher prices.
Detroit mills ground more flour than the
week before and sold more -four both to
the Eastern and Southern trade. They
are grinding Manitoba wheat for export
and made sales to London and Glasgow.
indianapolis mills made heavier run
and found trade slightly improved.
Eastern markets note general advance
in prices. but a dull business. Manitoba
mills continue to have good demand for
flour.
Millfeed is strong and higher at most
points.
Snow blockades and car shortage have
interfered greatly with the movement of
freight
Heavy snowfalls have been beneficial to
the growing wheat. which continues 10
give promise of a good crop.
The Northwestern Miller's cables today
state that in the Glasgow flour market
rather better feeling prevails, with de-
mand chiefly for strong fiours. No i'm
provement in the tone of the Liverpool
market is noted. Sales are confined to
small lots. In the London market the
ceeds the demand, and C. i. f. offers and
spot prices of spring patent are too far
apart to admit of much business. AM
sterdam reports that European flour is
being bought to the exclusion of Ameri-
can, being cheaper.-Northwester Miller.
