WHEAr-The market could scarcely be less active
A week ago to-day, just as holders expecting
an improvement in the local situation, the Liver
pool quotation announced sudden decline OF Cd at
that center. since then the figures have been grad
ually lowering until this morning, when cargoes
nearly due were quoted at sos against 52s quarter
on the 18th inst. This steady tumble has wholly
upset the calculations OF exporters and temporarily
stopped all negotiations. In the interim We have
had a fair arrival of tonnage, and at the moment
there close upon dozen vessels in port seeking
engagement, with no prospect OF immediate charter
at supposed ing rates. Several more ships are
due, aud probably by the end of the year shall
have comparatively large disengag5d feet in our
harbor This increase of Shipping facilities will not
be detrimental TO the farming interest The content
and firmness OF sellers under the circumstances
somewhat surprising 10 many operators Stocks are
undoubtedly in strong hands, while holders seem
quite reconced to await the return OF better times,
which saDguine mlnipulators predict will follow the
advent OF the New Year A sale Of 500 ctls fair

BARLgY-SymFtoms of better feeling are daily
becoming more pronounced. On Change this morn
ing there quite an active, though not urgent
inquiry. Feed is understood to be getting rather
scarce, and it looks very much as if other descrip
tons won soon receive II ore prominent attention..
Within week Chevaer has sold up to 81 60, which
is considered above the market, while sales have
been reported as low 81 A. For lots of this kind
that not fully up to standard there is govern
ing rate, and they have to be placed on an equality
with the ordinary article. Brewing finds good local
custom Offerings suitable for this branch of trade
are not pressed on the Market and sellers thus
able to obtain pretty near the top figure when trant
actions are effected. Some COO bags Of light brew.

crop is not expected TO be excessI e, as recent
heavy winds have decimated the trees. STILL no
scarcity is feared The Los Angeles crop will not be
prolific but the quality bids fair to be generally good
and of clean, bright color. The present season is
month earlier than last year. Consiguments now
coming forward meet with prompt attention The
market is better supplied with foreign Lemons than
in long time, and sharp holiday trade is antici-
