The only change to note in OUT local security

Governments, q slight improYemenS IN green 50
and lower rates for Oongress-gusra SeSd SoSs,

| The vast accumulation Of these bonds BY 1ssae
has somewhat deadened the market, and tho Ne
ceSsity TO sell out to meet other contracts has -
! suited in reducing the rates. There Is no douDe
that clearance Of $4,000 $50 900 would resu U
Ia an advance. The conversion Of the bonds int =
registered bonds will help to hasten the demand

APTopOs to the grain trade the Marx Lane
Express will have this to say Of the foreign mar
ket in its next issue:
"Oi wheat there has been larger arrivals and
IN better condition without the market being
shaken, although heaviness yet remains. Some
markets note better prices, but not sufacient to
influence London quotations, which are almost at
the bottom"
In local commercial markets we have to note a
very material advance in wheat. We quote
choice hrm, at Sl+6Gl47. II these prices should
follow.
COfee is very strong to-day. Largs stocks is
the only thing that has prevented an advance SO
far, but we may confidently expect higher prices
tomorrow.
Provisions and sugar are stronger.
Whisky is unchanged.
