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 to 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 $I.32A
t8 ctl. This figure fairly represents the
situation at the mement. 1t is possible
that transactions are made at $l.339 and
even at $1.35 per ctl., but business at these
prices is exceptional and easily explained
by certain attendant circumstances. On
call there was 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.
Last weeks business was as follows:
Buyer season, city-100 tons, 81. AL; coo,
$1.445; 100, $1.44; lO0 $l.435.

BAGS AND BAGGING-The market
for Wheat Bags has proved disappointing
for holders thus far. Prices are actually
weaker than they were month or six
weeks ago. A good many lots have been
sold, but as no one wants to carry stock
over to another season there is consider
HI ,ati for. L, e
course tends to depress the price. 1t has
been figured out, over and over again,
that the supply was inadequate TO the
wants of the coast. But it is evident that
buyers do not believe the story, for there
has never been season when there ap-
peared to be such good opportuni-
ties for speculation, and yet the spirit
of speculation is notably absent. We
quote best quality Calcutta wheat
bags, standard size and weight, at 6f47ac
for spot let's and -@-c for future deliv-
cry; San Quentin factory make, d: Califor-
MIA Jute Mill make, Tie; potato gunnies,

OATS-Choite descriptions are not in
over.supply. and stock of this character
sells at quotations quite readily. Poor
quality and new feed keep pressing on
the market and prices for an article of
this class are rather depressed.
