Minneapolis, Aug. 1.-The first big
smash in wheat premiums developed
today when local mills dropped their
bids S to 10c compared with Sept:
Outside mills had some orders In at
the opening that took some of the
best wheat at steady prices and the
occasional mills bought considerable
stuff at 4@5c decline, but late train
wheat was 5@10c weaker and slow
at the decline. Some elevator wheat
sold at unchanged premiums early
and later at. &c decline. Weakness
was chiefly in new wheat offerings.
Bids for No. / dark to arrive were

dark near the close was 40c over
Sept. Durum wheat was in strong
demand and firmer compared with
futures. Winter wheat was unsettled
in tone but quoted mostly unchanged.
Corn was quoted firm compared
with Sept. and there was a good ship
ping demand for the light offerings.
Oats were easier compared with
futures with heavy weight new oats
shifting the demand from the old
stuff. Rye was strong again with
competition between shippers rather
snappy. Barley prices were steady
and the demand for offerings fair.
Flax offerings were light but there
was less snap to the demand and
premiums were easier.
