COMMERCIAL.

The Wheat situation is not of encouraging
character. A tumble in prices IN Llverpool
early in the week had corresponding depress-
| ing influence on the local market. still, fig
ures are not low enough 10 admit of export
operations and no shipping trade is in prog.
ress. There is fair activity IN speculative cir
cles, though at declining prices, as is evil
denced by the fact that contracts for Decem-
Der Wheat are 81 per ton lower than they
were week ago. Spot Wheat for Call Board
uses would likely bring 95c p ctl, though
shippers could hardly pay 9oc and come out
even at the Liverpool quotations. Millers are
not buying freely, but holding Is steady at
81 05@1 10 .. ctl.
! The Barley market lacks vitality. There is
no heavy demand for feed purposes, and mill
ers take no more than enough to get along
with comfortably, Stocks are ample for all
immediate wants, and speculation in regard
to growing crops is the main fnctor in giving
the market whatever strength it possesses at
the moment.
Trade in Oats is of limited proportions, with
the market shaping rather against the selling
| interest
The Berry market is very weak for both
| Strawberries and Cherries.
The i5utter market is steady, with heavy
supplies on hand. Eggs OF all kinds are firin.
Chees e is in fair demand.
The stocks OF Poultry on hand have been
swelled by q lot OF Eastern justarrived. Prices
show no change.
