California nnd red winter IJ d higher , With
spring Id higher. Flour was also quoted 3d
higher nnd all wheat futures higher. Private
cables were quite as strong and saldthcre was
a larpc business. Grain was also of u de
cidedly bulling complexion. The aggregate
receipts at nine principal primary markets
were but 247,000 bushels , nnd it was
the talk that the new visible sup

Philadelphia , but New York n > | > ortcd ex
ports of 4b24 barrels nnd ! 8 sacks of Hour ,
