The foreign market for the past week has not
in the least improved, and advices
state that the scale of foreign wheat
in England is slow and tedious. 1t is also stated
that cargoes of flour and wheat are withdrawn.
Prices are quoted: California wheat, 3Ss Cd;
English wheat, 39s Id, the former equal to
81 1917, and the latter 81 .14A per bushel. Corn
is quoted at 23s Sd per quarter, or 694c per
bushel. The prospects, therefore, are no better
now than they were last week, and permanent
rise can scarcely be looked for Corn has been very
scarce, only cars coming to this market, and
prices have ranged high for No. 2, as much as
sc having been offered. The supply of oats has
been more liberal, the receipts amounting to
AZ cars, against 80 of the previous week. OF
these 2, 100 bushels went into elevators, and the
rest direct to consumers 5, 100 bushels were also
taken out of elevator, making the total bushels
sold 81 900. Barley has been in better
demand and the receipts cars
more than for the previous week. The demand
for flour has been quiet with the local trade and
| shipping steady and only cars In excess of the
| former week. The shipment of feed last week
| was exactly the same as the week before and
| prices have been about the same. Hay
| has been active with receipts increased
| 40 per cent: prices have been little higher
| Butter is about the same as last week with u
| slight falling off of receipts Of good grades {;
| prices have ruled steady. There has been very
| fair demand for good hand picked beans but the
prices are considered high and buyers are hold
ing off for reduction which no doubt will short
| ly ensue. Choice creamery cheese is becoming
scarce and prices sitter. Fruits
| are irmer, in good demand
and in some instances higher. Choice apples
| (Wilow Twigs, etc., are worth S6@65O ;genitons
