BARLEY-The sample market is more
or less agitated, owing to outside specu-
latiye operations. Trade is dull and prices
are irregular. For ANYTHING that can be
classed as No. Feed, sac D ctl is the ask
ing figure, while some choice lots are held
at 81. No business. however, is reported
at these figures. Still, on call, 81 y ctl
was paid for seller 1884 contracts. There
are liberal offerings of old crop at SAC,
and buyers for intermediate use more
often take this quality because of its being
cheaper. Brewing remains at about old
figures, say, @tca 81 Us b ctl, according to
quality. Bidding at the close is repre-
scented by the following table:

WHEAT-The tone of the market was
not quite so strong last week. The rainy
weather seemed to have exercised soft
eHing influence on values. Offerings for a
week past have been rather free, finding
prompt custom. and causing quick export
movement. Prices for several days have
been somewhat steady at a range of $.25d

the lower figure would about represent
the top of the market.

BAGS AND BAGGING-Wheat Bag
importers have again been disappointed.
The prospects of making something were
never better than they were few months
ago. The leading importers have been
10th to give up the situation. Even as
late "a sixty days ago they went into pool
to raise prices to 1c but the only parties
who have received any benefit from that
arrangement are those who did not go in
with the others. Calcutta Wheat Bags
are known to have been sold down as low
n, &c in the last few week. Wequote best
quality Calcutta wheat bags, standard size
and weight, at skate for spot lots; San
Quentin factory make, St: California Jute
