WHEAT-The market continues to droop.
Most holders believed that, when No. shipping
declined to 81 321a . ctl. bottom had been
reached. But yesterday the signs of further
softness were very pronounced as no exporter
would bid over 81 3114. To-day the situation
was worse. Standard shipping grades could not
be placed above 81 80, While 81 3I1Ifdl 32IIIa
ctl could not be obtained very readily for better
and more choice qualities.

BARLEI-Ruling high rates prevent any gen
eral activity. The cheaper figure for Oats has
drawn feed custom wholly in that direction but
this latter product is now advancing in value,
and when the two articles are brought closer in
value il is probable that Barley will again re-
ceive full consideration. Feed of good TO
choice quality ranges from 81 321a to 81 30 2
ctl. Strictly clean parcels for seed use are held
their prices WELL the demand being fairly good
Nothing of very desirable character can be
bought below 81 421a, while 81 Az will repre-
sent the full limit for most stock now Offering.
