WHEAT-The recent heavy and general rains
have necessarily tended to weaken the situation.
a. well as to occasion a more liberal array OF
offerings on Change. For parcels of moderate
magnitude, grading as standard quality, the
buying range is 81 3354@1 IS q ell. Round lots
OF 800 tons or upwards, at tide-wster warehouses,
Will command 81 3614 al 3612, being more avail
able and cheaper for shippers even at the ad-
vanced quotations
BARLEY-Nobody expects the market to show
scattered rains as have prevailed for more than
week. For strictly choice article of feed soc
is about the top figure, though some holders
cling to S211ac as their selling limit. However,
the immediate demand is settled at the lower
figure, while dark qualities are to be had at
further reduced prices. The market for Brew
ing is unsettled. OF choice the supply is any
thing but large, and an article of this character
brings full rates. Even of good No. there is no
great representation, but buyers are disinclined
to pay asking rates and trade drags more or less.
Chevalier could hardly be more inactive or
values more nominal than just at the present
moment. A change for the better all round is
much desired by interested parties. We quote
Feed, 77199S2e; Brewing 9Oc@$l; Chevalier,
81 % for standard; fair to good bay Sl@l 10;

OATS-The great mainstay of the market is
the good handling of the situation by those who
control stocks. The tone of the market is soft,

time it may be said there is no wholesale Gus
