50 S0(13 10.
WHEAT-The end of the month"; entered on
to-day, will terminate buyer season contracts
made in speculative. circles. The adjudication
of such engagements is expected to give zest to
Call Board operations for the next three or four
weeks. In regard to shipping business, there is
nothing doing. Asking prices preclude any
movement in the export line. Standard quail
ties of Wheat are quotable at 81 49@1 45, because
that is about the basis on which speculative
trading is negotiated, and holders are looking
in that direction for possible custom.
BARLEY-There has been quite little squirt
in Barley within few days. The absence of
needed rain is admitted to be among the more
direct causes for the advance. No improvement
is noted in the demand for feed descriptions,
however, though holders seem confident that
there Will be much better inquiry in the near
future. Agents of Brewers are said to be look
ing around, and it is more than probable that
increased travel will develop in the brewing
