WuEAT-People who expected any pronounced
movement to-day were disappointed On Change
this morning the sbsence of inquiry was quite
marked. Still the firm feeling developed late on
Saturday afternoon equally prominent to-day.
Offerings of choice parcels were slim, and sellers
we're not at all anxious to force business. For
choice shipping 81 20 is asked, and many operators
believe this figure will be the ruling rate before the
end of the week. Sales embrace 1900 ctls No 2,
81 62i; 2,200 do fair shipping, 81 6i4; 200 do,
81 60; 1,e00 do, 81 574 q ct No. is quotable at
81 65ca1 GA No. 2, 81 60@1 621 q ctl
BARLEY-There was less inquiry to day, which can
be accounted for by the fact that attention gen.
orally given to other grain for feed purposes Hold
ask top prices for feed, and the few sales
effected on Chlnge were negotiated on this basis.
Brewing finds satisfactory custom. The local de-
mand is slightly increasing and prices rule keep
strong. Chevalier seems to be out OF favor. This
description has never obtained much prominence in
the home trade. Being credited as superior arti-
Gle, growers have had to rely wholly on the ex-
port demand either for England or the Eastern
States. Both these sources of consumption have
so far failed this season TO great extent With
the present high ruling rates for Feed, holders
of Chevalier are surprised that this latter quality
does not come into request. Sales today include
1000 and 500 SKIS good feed, 81 ST.; 500 do,
slightly wt evily, 81 56A o ctl. We quote Feed,

OATs-Since Saturday there have been heavy
receipts from the northern coast. Notwithstand-
ing these large imports, the market is not only
ste dy but signs Of buoyancY are quite apparent
Holders have no cause to complain of business, for
the demand is good ard prices are obtained that
many sapgune operators hardly believed possible
month ago. Sales of $50 SKIS good Oregon,

CoRY-Prices are firm but trade is dull and slow.
II any sudden demand should spring up, values
would take jump. Stocks are said to be light, and
some parties doubt ii many orders OF magnitude
could be readily filled even at advanced figures.
