COMMERCIAL.
The Wheat Situation Very Unsatisfac-
tory to Sellers.
Spot Barley In Light Demand-The In
quiry for Fresh Fruits Con-
tinues Good.

The sale of December Wheat was less exten-
EiTe in the Produce Exchange Gail Board yes
terday than on Friday, but there was consld-
eraole activity nevertheless, and values were
advancs a little under the prompt taking OF
offers on the part of the bull element. Ihere
was no particular cause for the advance, eX-
cept the fact that holders offered moderately
IN the belief that prices were forced down on
the preceding day by speculation only ana
that an advance Was sure to come as soon as
the excitement subsidized. The events OF yes
terday proved the accuracy OF their reason
ing, for the market had much better tone.
Spot Barley is in light demand. There is no
material change in the local Wheat market.
Trade is very dull and the situation Is very
unfavorable 10 sellers. Buyers wants appear
to be very moderate, and exporters are kept
out OF the market by reason OF depressed
trade abroad and shipowners holding their
charter prices too high. Inflated Call Board
prices have also interfered with the shippers,
but this element is not as prominent now as
IL was a few weeks ago. Ali Cereals are NOV
Ing of slowly at present.
In the Produce market trade was quite act
i've yesterday and prices generally were well
sustained. The demand for fresh Fruits con-
tinues good, with a lair measure Of increase
from day to Gay. Strawberries are plentiful
and the low prices prevailing have been pro-
ductive of an extensive and steady demand.
Supplies OF Cherries were rather heavy yes
terGay and prices were lower. ApricotS at
tract but little attention, and green Apples
are very slow TO sell. Dried Fruits are selling
fatrly well, and prices are held steady.
Dairy Products are meeting With good IN
quiry, with but few changes in prices. Butter
Is steady, but easy, and Eggs are cheaper.
Poultry remains dull.
