Show FLOUR AND FEED MARKETS DULL MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. June 15- The Northwestern Miller's weekly re-vlow re-vlow of the flour trade says: The flour and feed markets are tunlformly dull with little demand except ex-cept for the lower grades or flour, and mills generally arc not pressing sales. Feed prices are slowly falling bul are still about a dollar and a half per ton lower than the record high point four weeks ago. FloUr prices dropped sharply the first part of last week but recovered and are now only about ' twenty-five cents per barrel lower than on June 5th. Opinion is sharply divided as to what wheat and flour prices will do next month after the new crop begins to arrive. Tho output continues fair for this season, which is normally slack. The Kansas-Oklahoma hard winter wheat mills reporting last week an output sixty-three sixty-three per cent of capacity, the Ohio valley soft winter wheat mills forty-four forty-four per cent' and the spring wheat j mills forty-five per cent. CHICAGO GRAIN. CHICAGO. June 16. Corn advanced advanc-ed In price today until September delivery de-livery had touched the highest level el this season. Absence of selling pressure was the Immediate cause. ! Profit-taking on the "part of longs fl-nnlly fl-nnlly checked the bulge, and brought 1 about a reaction. Opening prices, which ranged from Vic off to 74c: gain with July $1.77Vt to t.78 and September Sep-tember ?1.6S to l.6S, were followed I by an upturn all around, and ihen a material setback. Oats ascended -with corn. After opening unchanged to lc higher. Including In-cluding September at So to S5c. the market scored a general advance before be-fore beginning to react. Strength Ol grain and hogs lifted provisions little. At first, however, weakness' prevailed owing lo the unusually un-usually big stuck of lard on hand. .METAL MARKET. I NEW" YORK, June lb'.
