WHEAT The market is apparently
shaping in favor of the buying interest.
Choice export parcels were offered at 81. .38a
without finding custom. Receipts are be-
coming more free, and a fair movement is
in progress, considering the fact that for
eign markets are anything but encourag-
ing at the moment. From 81 35@S1.87A P
ctl will represent the full range at which
the better grades of shipping change
hands. Call business is not as general as
many operators would desire, though
transactions will likely enlarge in the
near future. Sales last week were:
Buyer season-20O tons, $I.46f.
Buyer season, city-100 tons, $146a; 100,
$1.464.
Seller 1884-200 tons, S1.35 D etl.
Closing prices were:
Buyer season-200 tons, LAC; 200, Sl.35A
y ctl.
Seller 19S4-10O tons, 81. 80.
Seller 1884, city-200 tons, S1.354 q ctl.
BARLEY-No buoyant tone prevails
New crop is coming to hand in fairly Ii b
eral amounts, and is being more or less
pressed for sale. The demand is as good
as can be expected, but no eagerness is
displayed by buyers. Sampling was some
what general, though the market was
slow of movement. The range for the
best feed grades is S246S5c y ctl, but pur-
chasers incline to the belief that values
will tend yet lower, and bidding is limited
to SOC y ctl. Holders, however, show
some firmness, and will not make conces-
sions until forced to do so by possible cir
cumstances that just at the moment seem
more likely to happen than otherwise.
Brewing is less brisk, and prices show
signs of weakness. For more than week
strictly fine parcels could be placed at
$l.lO, but $l.U73 is now full figure for
even fancy parcel, while the market for
this description can be quoted down as
low as Doc y ctl, according to color and
weight. There is nothing of consequence
transpirinR in Chevalier, and therefore no
guiding quotations can be given. Some
thing fancy in this line would probably
bring $1.4O and perhaps a trifie more,
while lots that are anyway off would likely
go begging at $1.l5@$1.25 = ctl. Sales
were:
Buyer season-2OU tons, ea3c; 500, 9s4c;
800, 93c y ctl.
Buyer 1Ss4-I0O9Oc = ctl.
Seller season-l00 tons. S1c4; 800, 814c y
ctl.
OATS-The market is steady. Many
consiRnments of new crop are foul and
oAC AdAu w pIdCOs SuOlCG Oltt dI0 scarce
and bring quotations readily. Receipts
must necessarily enlarge in the future.
