WHEAT-The situation does not appear prom
Using. Matters abroad look as if values were
likely to soften, and with such prospect il is
not to be eXpec ed that local prices would pre-
sent indications of strength. There was some
hope that Australia would turn up as q chs
toner, in consequ- nee OF reported short crops
III the Colonies, but SO far no trade has deve-
oped in that direction. At the moment there Is
very little demand for export purposes. Ship
pers are in the market to be sure, but they
somewhat Indifferent about buying. Still, mod
crate quantities of No. l shipping quality can be
placed at 81 so : ctl, though the market is easy
at this figure. Better grades will bring the usual
proportionate advance

BARLEY Trade is so slow that the market
may be said to be almost liieless. Yet there is
good undertoGe TO the values owing to the fact
are not being pressed. For desirable feed quail
ity 81 p q ctl is the established selling price,
with little chance of buying at lower rate.
Movement in Brewing descriptions continues
moderate and steady, causing regularity in
values. From 81 40 TO 81 50 2 ctl is the range
