WHEATON more than a week there has
been active trading. City operators have bought
freely while liberal purchases are understood
to have been made in the interior. Prices all
through last week were steady and buoyant
gradually advancing from 81 liz to 81 1917 and
eventually touching 81 80 for spot offerings In
the country, sellers disposed of their stock to
even better advantage, and reports were current
that 81 5213lel 30 were the ruling rates in some
farming districts for choice product. But yeSter-
day the situation did not present quite so strong
front. Holders did not change their views as
to values, but the buying interest declined to
take anything at over 81 ~, though the sam
pies were fully up to the standard, and this
figure must be considered as about the current
rate at the moment. The market has no spe-
cially weak tone but it is easy-more so than
on last Tuesday. Shippers claim to be obtaining
lots at the last figure indicated.
Call Board sales at the morning session of the
San Francisco Produce Exchange were as fol-
lows:

BARLEY-To-day decision is expected from
the settlement Committee in regard TO the price
at which the short interest on Call Board con-
tracts may liquidate their liabilities. Until this
matter be adjusted, the market for Feed Barley
Will be more or less cratic. This morning it
was very hard to obtain an intelligent idea as to
the value of No. l Feed. Some parties would
report very low range. while others would in
cline to the extreme in an opposite direction
Opinions varied all the way from 81 So to 81 as
2 Gu the figures in each case supposed to repre-
sent standard quality. Probably good article
would have found custom at 81 So while
81 424 would represent the buying limit for
anything specially choice, though sales at the
higher figure would necessarily be slow and
limited i'll amount. Dark quality and old stock
are neglected at 81 2715 to 81 so p ctl Brewing
is probably worth 81 80 q ctl as basis, with
offerings.

had a favorable influence on Dat trading, there
being marked increase in the demand during
the past four or five days. Business has been
quite active, and liberal quantities of stock

considerable diminution of stocks, the market
is yet amply supplied. We quote Surprise and
