active to-day, with marked increase in the
volume OF goods sent out on orders. In farm
produce trading was generally quiet in cereals.
The market for Grain appears TO be largely Of
a waiting character. No change is looked for
much. If under, fortnight. Garden tuff and
Fruit were shade weaker under freer receipts.
Another advance in silver in the English
market is accepted as more encouraging to the
Wheat interests. The tonnage in port is
steadily increasing, but the rates of charters
are unchanged.

ctls.; Barley, 933 ctls.; Rye, 333 cts: Corn.
WHEAT-The market for spot or cash par
GELS is firm, with buyers apparently little
more disposed to take hold. Two parcels OF
milling, for which two days ago no bids We're
obtainable, were wanted to-day at 81 4712 q
ctl,; the grade was choice. Private Engllsh
cables report a fairly steady market. our
market is quoted as follows: Shipping, fair
to good, 81 371591 40; choice TO extra choice,
81 41A@1 423a milling, tair TO good, 81 41A
G1 As; choice, 81 471aC9l 80.
BARLEY-The market is reported firm by
some dealers and weak by others. 1t looks as
il it is in the same condition as Wheat-that
is, buyers and sellers apart. There can be no
doubt but buyers are trying TO force prices to
lower levels, but whether they viii succeed
remains to be seen. The market is quoted as
follows: Feed, 92%@95c for eir TO good;
choice to extra choice 96A@9S58; brewing,
OATSEfhe market continues quiet but
firm. Buyers We're sampllng more Freely but
they were not disposed to operate beyond
nearby wants. The market Is quoted as fol-
lows: Feed, fair to good. 81 3og1 364;
81 42%@i 5215.
CORN0There is very little doing. Freer re-
ceipts cause buyers to hesitate If conslgn-
ment was to be forced on the market conces-
sions would have to be made. but if a buyer
had to secure a parcel to meet an urgent want,
then full prices would have to be paid. Our

FUTURES.
Dealing on Call to-day was quiet. The way
in which the bears and bulls operate looks
very much as if they DO not know what TO do,
other SIDE, and until further and more definite
advices are received trading Will continue
