WHEAT-The market lacks vim. Just about
| week ago the Liverpool market rcapsed
slightly, and there has been no improvement
since. Local business Eis almost stationary
| There are very few buyers in the market and
they do not seem to be pressed for stock, they
Will not advance their bidding figure over 81 40
! Z ctl. Whatever trade may be in progress on
! shipping account is mainly transacted on this
| basis of values Sellers are tardy in meeting
| business at such a figure, hoping for something
| to happen to give the situation more tone and
! enhance prices.
| Cali Board sales at the morning session were
| as follows:
Buyer season-io0 tons, 81 Il.
Buyer 1sS5-lC0 tons Il 62ls; 2.4O0, 81 60; 100

| BARLEY-There is such an insignificant
movement in sample trade that it is difficult to
! give guiding figures. The demand has dwindled
! down to almost nothing and sellers who wish
| to realize are tempting custom by low asking
! rates. Good No. Feed was offered this morn
| ing at 81 22]2 T ctl, and yet did not sell. OF
| course there are some holders who would not
| part with stock at what may be considered
| ruling rates, which, perhaps, is fortunate cir
| cumstancc, rs heavy offerings would cause still
| more pronounced weakness. Many parties are
| hopeful that, after settlements have been made
at the close of the month, the situation may
shape more fayorably for those who hold. IN
| Brewing descriptions there is no particular vari
alton. Stocks of this quality are not excessive,
! and they are mostly in strong hands, while the
| necessities of buyers compel them to pay just
what is demanded. From 81 30 10 81 70 Z ell
would likely cover all Brewing transactions.
