BARLEY-The sample market is more
or less agitated, owing to outside specu-
lative operations. Trade is dull and prices
are irregular. For ANYTHING that can be
classed as No. Feed, 824c u 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 u ctl
was paid for seller 1884 contracts. There
are liberal offerings of old crop at sic,
and buyers for intermediate use more
often take this quality because of it's being
cheaper. Brewing remains at about old
figures, say, 964c@S1.O5 y ctl, according to
quality. Bidding at the close is repre-
sented by the following table:

the market weak feeling.

WHEAT-The tone of the market was
not quite so strong last week. The rainy
weather seemed to have exercised soft
ening 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 range of $3.50

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 as sixty days ago they went into pool
to raise prices to &c. 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
as &c in the last few week. We quote best
quality Calcutta wheat bags, standard size
and weight, at 5a@6c for spot lots; San
Quentin factory make, st; California Jute
Mill make. 64(07c: potato gunnies, l1G12c;
wool bags. 37A@42ac apiece; Burlap cloth,
&c for 40 inch.
FLOUR-Trade is fairly active without
any marked change in values.
We quote: San Francisco extra, best, at
S4.25@4.80: medium, $3.50@4.00; shipping
superfne, S2.50@3.50.
