WHEAT-There is no heavy volume of
business in progress. Growers do not take
kindly to the comparatively low ruling
prices, and good deal of grain is being
placed in warehouses in preference to be-
ing forwarded 10 market. The demand is
active, and exporters are ready TO take lib
eral consignments of good shipping quail
ity, provided it can be obtained at 32l
y ctl. This figure fairly represents the
situation at the mement. It Is possible
that transactions are made at 81 .yY and
even at rs per ctl., but business al these
prices is exceptional and easily explained
by certain attendant circumstances. On
call there was a fair disposition to specu-
late on the future of the market, though it
was not general enough to create any par
ticular enlargement of the record of sales.

BARLEY-The market keeps pretty
steady, considering that the new crop is
now finding its way to market in fairly
liberal amounts. Offerings are compare.
lively large, but holders are firm, and ef-
forts TO obtain any marked concessions
are, as a rule, fruitless. Buyers do their
best to force values to lower basis, but.
so far, efforts of this character have not
availed anything. No. : grades of Feed
are Huota6le at iIaa SOc b. ct. In Brew
ing there is nothing new worth remark
ing. The tone of the situation is of easy
character, and the market is likely to
shape more favOrabiy for BUYERS as the
time approaches when the new crop can
be better utilized than at present. Good
new Brewing can be bought at S5td Soc.
while old ranges from 95c(a .05 t, ctI.
Chevalier has not yet come into much
prominence. as the samples have been
more or less of Indifferent character. A
wide range in values is expected this sea
son. Choice will probably find quick sale
at 81 40 t ctl and even higher, while poor

dull sale at even these prices. Sales were:
