WHEAT-For more than week the market
has not presented any signs of activity, The
situation at foreign centers has not warranted
export operations in making purchases on snip
ping account, ard the absence of tins element,
of course, stops all business. Event. a demand
should spring up, better prices would probably
have to be offered III order to draw out supplies
Holders are gauging their ideas of values more
by the dry weather than anything else. me
present time is certainly critical period torthe
new crop, and a great deal depends upon atnos-
pheric conditions during the next fortnight. In

come along very soon in order to be oi much
benefit. Market nominally quotable at 81 277a@

difficult to quote values. The market here, as
in Europe, keeps duh Buyers adhere TO the
hand to-mouth policy in view of the ample sup
plies al producing points Holders ask l0lglic
Tor choice, while buyers offer only 7GSc. The
general condition OF this season crop IS said to
be inferior 10 last, owing to over-ripeness and
Imperfect handling in curing. The want Of la
Dor was seriously felt III many sections In
stances are reported Of picking being abandoned
in some YARDS from this cause.

thereby created. Some shipments have been
made lately TO Colorado, but the demand from
that quarter is not expected 10 make any marked
impression on the market, as requirements III

FRUIT-Oranges are less plentiful, but still re-
ccipLs are enough to meet all wants. The low
rates tina have ruled for some time Rave given
opportunity for enlarged custom, which has been
generally awaited OF, and the consumptive de-
mand is less pressing at the moment. Some few
boxes OF RaSpbcrries have made their appear-l
apce within week, but it Will be some little
time before regular daily shipments are inaugu-
rated. Strawberries come along very slowly,

W00L-So trade in spring wool vet Some
new stock reaches market daily but so far none
has been placed. Shearing throughout the State
is not general, as wool men fear that il may
commence raining soon. If. however, there is
no heavy downpour soon, the sbearing will go
ahead rapidly. A large quantity of wool may
be looked for by the middle of next month. The
outlook for prices. in the opinion of prominent
dealers is anything but satisfactory aud ii is
not believed that last springs rates viii be
even if reached.
