! WHEAT-Business Tor the remainder of the
| year is expected to be quiet. At the moment
| the market is almost motionless. The situation
| at Liverpool has been so unpromising this week
| that local operators have about withdrawn
from extensive trading. Some few lots of good
| to choice shipping have changed hands at
range of 81 35ld1 ~ r ctl but the quantity in
| the aggregate was tritling.

BARLEY-The market is dull and uniuterest-
ing. Trade in feed has been of dragging char
| acter for some time. and the immediate pros
pect IS not favorable for any positive change
for the better. Still, circumstances are liable
to occur to give activity to the situation, and
dealers have no alternative but TO await with
patience so desirable turn. Brewers are
practically out of the market for the present,
not being disposed to make new contracts until
after the close of the year. Consequently there
IS no movement OF magnitude in Brewing quail
tiles, and prices are more or less nominal at
| 81 35tGl 10 q ctl. Some holders of fancy lots
will not sell below 81 50 q ctl.

BUTTER-The market has been fairly supplied
OF late with the better grades of fresh roll while
| prices have tended il favor of buyers. Fancy
descriptions are in less general demand the more
urgent inquiry being for a suitable article of
| flesh to take the place of picked roll. Good
sweet butter, desirable for table use if offered
| under SOC will find ready custom, but for higher
priced butter trade is limited and slow. Picked
roll is in very small stock aud includes little of
| desirable quality. Market for best key is firm
with stocks quite moderate. We quote prices
as follows Fancy. 35c choice, So@321ac

| EGGS-Scarcity of home product and q special
| demand Oh holiday account have operated
| iavorably for late Eastern arrivals. Cold wea-
| ther viii discourage further shipments from the

domestic memories will have to be relied on for
some time in the future. Quotable at 4061215c
