WHEAT-There is another lull in operations
English advces tend TO depress all enthusiasm, and
1t looks as If the local market were likely to fall
back into its former quietude. But the situation
will not be materially changed whatever circum-
stances may arise at foreign centers falling off
OF Id to-day ON spot lots at Liverpool IS rather dis
couraging to the export interest, but holders give
no attention to the matter. They feel satisfied that
their asking price of 81 771 for choice quality will
eventually be paid, and are quite content to await
their opportunity. Shippers did not bid over 81 75
this morning, but met with no response. Some No

BARLEY = Many parties are of the opinion
that the present sluggish business will soon
give way to an active movement. Prior to the last
two weeks feed had been in good demand for a
comparatively long period. Heavy purchases
mainly on speculative account, kept the market
pretty lively, but when this particular interest was
satisfied, holders had none other but local custom
with which to deal. 1t is now claimed that buyers
who had secured large stocks have been quietly
shipping TO interior points, until the amount on
hand has been much reduced. Some liberal orders
have been received from the direction OF Stockton
which are rather significant. In ordinary times, it
20 600 30 900 tons stored at Stockton about
this of the year, but it is officially stated that
the 1st instant the stock of Barley at that point
was less than $50 tons. If other like prominent
places in the interior make no better exhibit,
then holders need not fear any lowering of values
Brewing continues to find good custom, chiefly on
local account. Chevaher has not met with much
encouragement since harvest opened, and holders
will soon be getting uneasy unless some favorable
change shall occur For this description the reli-
ance of farmers is almost wholly on foreign orders,
which have not as yet come up to anything Ike the
average of former years. To-day, however, there
was report current that one, if not two, vessels
would soon be placed on the berth to carry Cheva-
lier Barley to Europe. We could not trace the ru-
NOR to reliable source, but hope it may prove cor
rect. We quote the market rates as follows:
