California Millers Advance Price of Flour. CHICAGO. March 2. Export sales and allogod crop damage carried wheat prices today to a higher level. The close was firm i, to Vo above laat night. Corn made a net advance of SVc. oats-a gain of V to ,c. hog products became more ex pansive by 12',i to 30 cents. Wheat finished at almost the top point of the rlav. The fact that the foreign de mand showed Itself greater tended to em phasize bullish feeling. One reason waa that California millers had put up the price of flour 40 cents a barrel and were proposing another lift be cause of an active call from Mexico and China. Decreasing stocks of wheat at Liver pool counted also as-alnst the bears, and so did Arcentine news of unfavorable weather for shipping-. Corn equalled about the top prico of the season and ended within a shade of the best figure for the day. Talks of decreased acreage on account or late seeding helped the price of oats.
