done was mainly speculative and
the market was governed by
the extent of the demand, which wes in
fiuenced by the condition of the other
markets, particularly by the changes in
corn. No. > sold 19@Ic higher. The sam
pie market did not improve particularly,
because shippers and other buyers held off
when any advance was asked. For this
reason all No. . oats went to store and in
many cases receivers found it expedient
to place consignments of No2 white in ele-
vatoIs, although they would bring no pre-

easier. Trading was chiefly confined to
December and May.

nominal, there being no offerings and but
little demand. Maltsters and shippers
were not buying much barley. They seem
to be holding OFF, waiting for the present
little excitement to subside. The best
grades sold only moderately and common
grades were hardly sslable. On call
there was a fair demand and prices were
firm. Sales were in the December and
January options.
In the market for -four nothing was do
