A special to Sunderland St Lpdike. says- that, the Texan mills are paying tl.iotfl 16. 'lor wheat and the ter ritory is , practically bare of old wheat. A Chloaga. bull la thus quoted, lir today's Inter Ui-ean: "There, la practically no evi dence going to show that much new wheat can pass country miller In July to fill any sales trr this market at much under $1 per bushel,-1 The old crop trill naturally be all consumed before theii and practically none of it left for millers to mix with new wheat. September wheat Is at ill an un born supply and prices will bo theoretical fur sonic time to come. It in true, It Is on an export basis, but that basis is sub ject to many export contradictions." The Northwestern Miller says: "There was a decrease of 7.500 barrels in the flour output last week. The quantity turned out was 161.840 barrels, against 217,773 Isst year. There was not much to vary the monotony of a dull flour market last week. There were somewhat Increased demands for flour. About all the export business done was limited sales of clears to London ami Holland." The condition of the May corn deal la summed tip by the" Record-Herald today lh the following manner: "Wet weather In the corn belt during the last three weeks has turned tin apparently hopeless May - corn deal Into an Impregnable one, and In addition has put the soil in condition to give the, rmw crop a tine start, provided warm and fair weather follows soon. Only ' twelve more business days of the present ' month remain, and It Is hardly probable that conditions will change sufficiently ta ' Impair the position of the present holders' In view of the profits that have already ac crued from the widening: of differences on tho trades recently closed and on the corn thus far merchandised."

The unusual strength In the wheat mar ket developed late in the session. At the opening sentiment was decidedly bearish. Initial quotations on July were off 7c to 'Jic at HtWisSHc. The main depressing Influence early was Improved wesk condi tions throughout the In I ted States, espe cially In the spring wheat territory. An additional factor was a severe decline at Liverpool. I'll traders were active sellers during the first part of the day. Commis sion houses, however, bought In sufficient quantities to hold prices at about the open ing level. Damage reports from the south west began later In the day to flood the pit with a surplus of buying orders.

Professional traders were very persistent and diligent on the short side of the market. There was heavy selling by speculative pools, which have made unavailing efforts to get prices up, and the decline In prices brought other selling by the Impairment of margins and the uncovering nf aton-lo orders 1 The downward course was not established without a strtiaale and a contest hv friends of higher prices and the level vibrated many times during the course of the morn ing under the conflicting influenco of op erations on opposite sides of the market.

CATTLE There was another good run of cattle here today, about 3,4ts) nead being on sale. This makes for tne weeg about. 16,00u head received. The stuff all arrived early and the market opened tn good sea son. Tne general quality of the receipts was fairly good. There was a weakness snewn in tne traue on beef steers this morning and there waa no urgency to the demand, w nne tne re ceipts of this class of cattle was fairly liberal and included . some good stuff, tne demand was weak and buyers did not seem anxious for supplies. Even the good kinds were slighted and just about steady prices was all mat could be obtained even on the very best kinds, Common and poorer araries were in verv Door demand and sold t prices rigm around a aime lower, irau- ing was very Blow ana urasjgy ana very little was done tin wen aiuns in ma lure- noon. The cow and heifer market showed a little more strength than did the steers especially on the good kinds and the mar- Ket rutea on tnese Kinun Kcueiu-iiy sieauy with a little firmer tone than there was on beef rattle. Common and coarse kinds were weak to a dime lower, but there wa more life to the trade and the cattle changed hands quicker than they did In the beef steer division. The market on veal, calves, stags and bulls remained In about the same condition as it has been tor several uays, annougn today it suffered some irom the weakness hnwswin otner aivisions. There were only a very few stockers and feeders offered this morning and the quality was only fair. Most of the receipts in tnis class were heavy cattle, something the soeculators did not have much use for and ma a result, trading was slow, although the stuff was all bought up at Just about steady prices.
