WHEAT-The market was not quite so strong
this morning. At all distant distributing cen
tiers weaker feeling is reported, and the local
situation necessarily shows sympathy. There
is fair export movement in progress, but there
is no pressure for grain, as shippers are mostly
supplied for all immediate necessities for load
ing purposes. standard grades range from
81 321a TO 81 S5 q ctl.
BARLEY--The situation can hardly be said to
partake OF a buoyant character. Few buyers for
feed uses Will pay over SOC, though some hold
ers of choice lots insist on S21@c. A poor article
dragS, though offered low. In Brewing quail
ties there is moderate activity, though the de-
mand is not so pronounced as short time ago.
Improved trading has occurred of late in
Chevalier mainly on shipping account. We
