Increased Activity.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 18th.

poses continues fairly steady, though buyers
appear to be in no haste and make their pur-
chases with comparative ease. There is ap-
parently no marked pressure to sell, but offer
1ngs are large enough TO satisfy all wants for
legitimate trade purposes. Quite lively times
have been witnessed IL speculative circles
within day or so, and some heavy business
has been transacted at fiuctuating rates,
though prices have tended steadily upward.
Barley prices have firm tone, though trad
ing is not of large magnitude.
An improved feeling has developed in Oats,
and dealers look for more activity IN trade
and possibly better prices as stocks become
smaller.
