tendance and a fair display OF samples. Buyers,
however kept in the back ground, and transactions
were few The market seemed to have no spirit, and
it looked as if operators willing that the stua
ton should drift into OF inactivity. 1t Is likely,
however, that shippers will commence purchasing
again freely as soon as they are satisfied that the
storm is over and the work Of loading be prose-
cuted without fear Of delay. English advices are
not of character to induce much tpeculative ac-
tivity The Mark Lane Express Of yesterday says
''There IS no question as to the worlds surplus Of
marketable breadstffs being above the consunptiye
demands for the United Kingdom for the year, and
the only thing that keeps prices at the present
level is the psucitY OF spot ard new sup
plies. Until the beginning Of the past week
speculation has been active in America in wheat,
but found not the faintest response here. The
American surplus is admitted to be above that OF
last year, while European requirements are less y

BARLEY Although the market exhibits no un-
steady symptoms, IL is evident that the inquiry is
fess general than a few days ago. Holders, how
ever, keep pretty firm in their views, and buyers
have to pay about top prices for choice parcels For

foot up 500 bags Buyers are coming into the mar

CoRy-To DAYS Southern coast steamer brought
up about 2 200 sacks. Since last Thursday we have
heard OF no business in large Yellow, though this
morning a small lot Of 10 SKIS changed hands at
81 20 q ctl On Change, there were liberal offer
ings OF new small Yellow at 81 Is, with no buyers.
II is too early in the season to form any
conjecture OF the future report that
large purchases on Mexican account are being
made in Los Angeles is generally doubted.
A somewhat similar rumor in regard to Central
America prevailed last May, and was not believed
until il was found that some go 600 cts had been
secured for export. At that period large Yellow
touched 81 IS and White 81 Is q ctl. Operators,
however, do not anticipate to realize such prices
just now. So lar as apparent there is no inquiry
whatever and it is doubtful il reduced asking
would create any great demand.

HoPS-We hear of no movement. Holders keep
firm in their views. We quote 14120c e b as
governing figures.
PoTAIoEsSThe mar ket Is well braced. There is
more general demand than has been observed in
some time. Choice lots are readily placed at our
figures, but poor qualities remain unsod on the
wharf Arrivals generally, however, are in good
condition. No Sweet to-day. Wharf rates to-day
are as follows River Red, 60@65c; Early Rose, 20

WooL-The market is very quiet. As the stock
remaining unsold is chiefly defective Fall, prices
may be considered largely nominal while no imme-
date movement Of any extent can be reasonably
pected. Advccs from Eastern centers are rather
encouraging, and it is therefore not improbable
that oil descriptions now on hand, even though for
the most part inferior, will be marketed before a
very great while. Southern fall, 12d14c e h for
