market to-day than for several months past.
Indications are that the good feeling win be
sustained, with likely better future market
Chartering of a few ships last week seems to
have inspired local speculators who are more
Venturesome, resulting in a largely increased
Wheat business being transacted to-day in the
option market. At rates of chartering last
week, 23s Sd for large and 24s for small iron
ships, many ships could be engaged. but

on Call this morning, which is an advance of
IL cents over Saturdays quotations. sales
amounted to 6, 100 tons. Seller 1892 was
also dealt in TO the extent of 500 tons at
prices ranging from 81 3015 to 81 3G34. For
eIgn markets are reported quiet, so the better
feeling is due solely TO local causes. In the
Spot Wheat market there was considerable
activity for shipping purposes, but no ad-
vance noted
Barley was not largely dealt in on Change
but at the same time it is very firm. Only
200 tons changed hands, Seller 1892, at from
S354c TO S5c. The spot market Tor Barley is
especially in sympathy with that of Wheat.
As for other cereals, etc, there is nothing
new to report. All cereals are steady.

Barley. 10, ,966 tons; oats. 1885 tons; Corn,
523 tons; Bran, $50 tons.
There is but very little fancy Butter in the
market, for which the demand is very good,
and consequently it is held higher. Other
grades of Butter are reported steady and SO are
Cheese and fancy Eggs.
The Vegetable market is almost inactive
Onions and Potatoes are quiet
Fruits, fresh, were dull this morning, with
slight changes in prices. Dried Fruits are
held steady. Dried Peaches are weak.
Poultry receipts were light and for which
there was light demand. Buyers prefer Game,
which came into the market to-day with the
opening of the season. Receipts were not
very large, however, on account of warm
weather prevailing. With good rain the re-
ceipts would greatly increase.
Provisions and Livestock suggest no new
features.
