bbl Supertine, 81 S0@3 25.
WHEAT-There is not much activity to be
noted though q rather strong feeling is percent
ible. The fact is, there is not so very much
first-class shipping Wheat in the State, and
owners of stock of this character are holding
with confidence. For such product ready sale
can be found at 81 3212, while it is probable that
81 S;I34 2 ctl would be given if the lot were of
uniform grade Prices for offerings below stand
ard are irregular, the demand being almost
nominal.
BARLEY-The market is almost stationary at
the moment Feed descriptions meet with
moderate inquiry. while offerings are liberal
and the situation is against sellers, Brewing
qualities show easier feeling, as no fresh orders
on Eastern account have been received. Ad-
vanced freight rates, together with the near
closing of the mating season at the East will
check overland shipments No demand exists
for Chevalier, and prices are therefore nominal.

BUTTE R-Nalues have been on the down
grade for week at least and the market is still
in soft condition. Receipts are in excess of i'm
mediate consumption, and the absence of good
keeping qualities in most of the arrivals COM
pels the forcing OF more or less stock. As a con-
quence the situation is almost wholly in favor
of buyers We quote Fancy, 81 "a 2S1zc good:
TO choice, 20627c; common, 22l2b26c p b.
CHEESE-New is arriving little more freely.
though receipts are not yet large enough to
cause any positive change in values. The feel
ing is less firm, however, and a lowering of
quotations is q matter of only short time. We
quote: Good to choice, lie to 1sc; common
grades. 15G16c; Eastern, 14916c z b.
EGGS-There is good demand and trade is
rather free in movement. Prices are trifle firm
at the moment, as supplies were light during
the stormy weather of the past few days. The
comparative scarcity however, is but temporary.
Quotable at 2l1S re 2 dozen.
