WHEAT-The wet weather of the past two
days has necessarily tended to create an easier
feeling, and temporarily check buying opera
tons. Light offerings for some time have pre-
vented any heavy purchasing, and it is not I'M
likely that the late storm may be the means of
inducing owners to part with portion at least
| OF their holdings For day or two, however
there will probably be lull in trade until full
knowledge is obtained of the extent of the
rains. At the moment 81 S712 q ctl must be ac-
cepted as the top figure for standard shipping
grades.
BARLEY-The market this morning held up
better than most people expected, considering
| the good rain that occurred since the close of
Change last Saturday. No feed of desirable
quality could be bought under SIZE q ctl, while
| there seemed to be no great pressure to realize
Dark qualities of course were to be had at lower
| figures. In Brewing there is no active move
| ment, though prices show fair steadiness at a
range of 95c@Sl 05 q ell. Chevalier is quiet as
general remark. Still, custom could perhaps be
found for fancy product above the prices we
quote, but offerings of this class too small to
occasion any activity in the general market.
Quotable at 81 goal % for standard; fair to

OATS-Holders continue to handle the market
with prudence. Offerings are fairly liberal to
be sure, though not excessive, while there is
active demand, and stocks work off well So
long as the present conservative way of supply
ing the market is observed, there is not likely TO
be any very marked lowering of figures. No.

FRUIT-The market is well stocked with Ap-
pies, and it must be something of extra good
quallty to bIing over 81 ? box, and these adj
vanced prices are only obtained in retail fashion
Now that the holidays are over, buyers can have
Lady Apples at about their own prices There
IS fair representation of Pears, but custom is
found only Tor the more choice qualities. The
late storm has probably stopped all further ship
ments of Grapes this season. Liberal receipts
OF Oranges have been coming to hand for
the past week, but there was a good prOpor-
ton of windfalls among arrivals and such had
to be sold at low prices. Even choice product
did not move off as freely nor at as good prices
as Just before Christmas time Mexican Lines
are still scarce and high. Offerings of native
ana foreign Lemons are lair, meeting with mod
crate demand. We quote prices Apples. 5O6
