WHEATON two or three days the market
| has shown dragging symptoms. Buyers have
| been more or less indifferent in sampling offer
| iugs, and more time was consumed in negotia-
| lions than usual On the other hand sellers
| have evinced more desire to trade, and efforts
| III this direction have in some instances been
rather persistent. At the moment 81 Az ctl
is the top figure for desirable shipping quality,
and if holders were to press business to any ex-
tent it is likely that the quotation would drop to
81 As. Some operators are not inclined to pay
above this latter figure even now. Movement
this side of the New Year is not expected to be
brisk, as business men generally would prefer
making out their annual balances before incur
ring additional liabilities. After the holidays
increased activity is more than probable.

forcing sales. Continued dry weather tends to
keep values in firm position, though this latter
strength is liable to be destroyed almost any
day by heavy rains Still it is an element just

Hopes are yet entertained that shipping orders
will give more vitality to the market before the
mailing season be over. AS before remarked.
this class of custom calls for an article of supe
rior quality, and prices in advance of our
quotations would probably be paid to secure the
desired descriptions. Local brewers scan the
market pretty thoroughly before they will nego-
tiate on our top rate as basis for the more
choice offerings Quotable at 81 15(91 III q ctl
