mainly for shipment by China steamer this
week We quote Best city extra, 81 $40
5; medium s. 75G4 %; shipping, supernne,
81 1908 70 q Dbl.
WHEAT-No trade in progress Holders are
less firm in their views than they were week
ago. STILL asking rates are above the figures
| that buyers viii pay. Exporters claim that the
| situation at foreign centers at the moment viii
not permit of the payment of over 81 271a q ctl
| for the customary shipment grades, while the
demand at even this figure is anything but posi-
| tive. A bid of 81 30 q ell would likely bring
| quick response from sellers.
Call business was rather dull this morning.

The English circular of Anton Kufeke & Co.,
dated February 18th, says mo improvement
| on last weeks adyices can he reported to-day.
The Wheat trade lacks animation, and holders
are now more inclined to break their prices to
| effect sales. On accoun. of the daily dropping
| tendency reported from America buyers are
holding off for the present, as the belief that we
shall see still lower prices is gaining ground Wis
| bly,
BARLEY-Custom can be found for desirable
feed quality at size z ctl, but sellers demand
| 81, and are not disposed to se1 for any lower
figure. The demand is not general, and trading
| is not quick. Receipts are light, and this cir
cumstance operates TO the disadvantage of buy
| ers Brewing descriptions are steady, though
| not particularly buoyant, Quotable at 81 ESQ
