WuEAT-The market is passing through another
dull spell the extent of which will depend largely
upon the ability of interested parties to maintain
current rates Of freight. Holders OF grain are not
likely to weaken in their asking figures, even though
local surroundings and foreign aaViees present
| gloomy appearance. We have plenty OF tonnage IN
! port and even if all eargoes immediately "ahted
have been secured 1t cannot be long before iuflher
arrivals viii necesstate renewal VI the export de-
mand. Farmers are pretty well informed us 10 the
situation The season is far advanced that stocks
can be closely leulated while the amount OF ton
mage here and to arrive Is no secret although
| England is our best customer, 1t must be renenn-
/ bered that Continental countries also buyers OF
no small magnitude. Last year Belgium took 2Z3,-
600 centas but already this season we have shipped
/ four times the above quantity in that direction.
France is relying to some extent on imports from
California to make up the deficiency OF her harvest
| 1t is stated that Wheat has recently advanced in
Paris to sci soc. In July 1t was quoted at 70 francs
We have already exported since the beginning OF the
harvest year. to French ports alone, no less than
| 100 900 centas and ii is understood that the de.
| mand is not wholly satisfied. Though the prospect
is encouraging sellers must understand that efforts
to realize ct current quoted rstes would meet with
! d or success The market is too apathetc to JUS
tify offerings to any extent, and holders as rule
refrain from submitting samples. Liverpool adviees
to-day represent the situation as beng heavy, while
quotations are given at Is lower on cargoes and Id
! decline in spot lots. Transactions to-day were
meager, embracing Ar ctls to macaroni manu-.

it looks as if buyers were easing off, The market
has sustained itself much better than the most san

these rates Coast Chevalier sells at 81 40 Il 10,
