SAN FRANCISCO, October 3oth.
There seems TO be steadying tone to the
Wheat situation all round, and dealers are
hopeful of Improvement in matters gener-
ally I here is good movement on shipping
account, and it looks as If export trade will
increase rather than otherwise. 1t is believed
that prices have touched bottom and that
firmer quotations are likely as the season
wears along. Offerings at The moment are
equal to all requirements, and buyers can
easily satisfy all present wants.
Barley prices hold up pretty well, consider
ing that the movement just now is not OF par
ticularly heavy proportions. OF course no
radical changes in quotations are expected
one way or other, as there is no scarcity OF
supplies. Business at the moment is mostly
confined to legitimate local wants, there being
but small speculative trading in progress.
Heavy arrivals OF oats OF late have tended
to unsettle prices, and sellers are at disad-
vantage. All descriptions come in for fair
share of attention, and the market Is Kept IN
