the market does not respond with the aacrity that
holders would me silly desire. OF course there is a
generally improved feeling, and sellers are satisfied
that the situation is more favorable TO their re-
speetive interests Still the movement is slow, and
buyers lack enthusiasm 1t seems to be understood
that any attempt TO purchase below quotations
would be vain, and no efforts are therefore made
with view OF obtaining concessions. Shippers are
willing to give 81 All as an extreme for prime new
No. l. and ii farmers be disposed 10 meet the
market at that figure, it is quite probable that some
good round parcels could be placed without much
difficulty. Sales are reported to have been made
at 81 So but only on milling account. The English
market shows no improvement, and this fact is adj
yaneed by some operators as reason why the
price OF grain is not likely to advance. Either
a rise at foreign points of consumption, or
decline in spot freight rates must occur 1t Is
claimed, before shippers will be justified IN paving
his her prices. Relief in the shape of much lower
freghts is hardly probable, when the large crop TO
be moved is compared with the amount of tonnage
likely TO arrive. On Change to-day sales were not
numerous, but good prices were mainly realized.
One prominent operator has transferred 1900

BARLEY-The tone OF the market is not quite so
strong. A slight subsistence in the demand for feed
causes q weak feeling among holders, who, under
such circumstances, willing to shade rather than
lose custom. Brewing seems to be in poor favor,
meeting with scarcely any inquiry. 1t is ten days
since sale of good brewing reported. Inferior
coast qualities, however, have changed hands at
prices below our quotations. To.days transactions
were wholly in feed, embracing 900 SKIS at 963c,

BUTrER-The demand for prime qualities is less
pressing. Buyers are not so liberal in their views
and will not purchase ahead. AS consequence
there is a slight accumulation of stouk though hot

probable that the next two or three weeks will WIT
more or less fluctuations in values, though no
very marked change either way is ant cipated. At
