Show SHARP ADVANCE IN FLOUR PRICE Northwestern Millers' Review Says Output Shows Only-Slight Only-Slight Gain . MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., April 28. Tho Northwestern Mlllor's weekly review re-view of the flour trade says: "Flour prices haVo again advanced sharply and are now about one dollar dol-lar per barrel ofer a month ago. Tho advance In soft winter wheat flours has been especially marked. Rising prices, diminishing stocks, and the difficulty of securing cars for shipment ship-ment have materially increased the 'demand; particularly for clears. Mill-feeds Mill-feeds arc high and scarce; bran being be-ing now nearly ten dollars per ton higher than on March Xirst. Hiyh feed prices are largely due to the greatly reduced outptit resulting from car shortage. Flour output for tho week showed a slight gain over tho low point of tho week before but was still relatively very small. Kansas-Oklahoma group of hard winter wheat mills reported output of forty-four forty-four per cent of capacity. Ohio valley val-ley soft winter wheat mills twenty-two twenty-two per cent and spring wheat mills thirty-fivo per cent. CHICAGO GRAIN. CHICAGO, April 28. Bearish sentiment senti-ment duo largely to misgivings in regard re-gard to tho financial situation had a depressing effect today on the corn market. Declines is sterling exchange and in New York quotations tended especially es-pecially to weaken grain values, and so too, did warmer weather. Much of the selling of corn was in the nature of liquidation on the .part of holders. Opening quotations which ranged from 's to 34c lower; with May ?1.71 to ?1.73 and July $1.62 to $1.6-1, were followed by moderate further setbacks and then something of a rally. Advices that exporters wero cancelling cancel-ling export sales weighed down the oaLs market. After opening 51c to 2c lower, including July at 870 to 88c, tho market sagged a llttlo more, and then reacted somewhat. Provisions were weak in sympathy with grain. The application for a receiver re-ceiver for a packing company at Sioux City was also a bearish influence. CHICAGO LIVESTC'CK. CHICAGO, April 28.
