Uncertainties in the flour market are the order of the day in interior points following the slight slump in Portland yesterday. Wholesalers had received no word here at 11 o'clock this morning f rom - Portland dealers. It is believed here that the cut at Portland was principally a momentary one resulting from a sudden drop in wheat. If wheat recuperates it is not likely the depression will reach inter ior points. Spinach and rhubarb are two com modities of trade . on the geocery boards that are showing tendencies of depression, and both of these articles are selling slightly cheaper today than previously. . .
