Spot Wheat Prices Regulated by Call
Board Operations.
Brighter Outlook In the Barley Mar
ket-Business In Oats Of Drag
ging Character.


Call Board operations now largely regulate
the price of spot Wheat, as there is no ship
ping business being done. For speculative
uses, suitable parcels can be sold at about
81 o21s, while for ship purposes. supposng
there were any demand, it would not COM
mand over 921aG95c 2 ctl. Tie late rain
has played havoc with prices in the specu-
lative arena May Wheat. which sold last Tues
day as high ASST IA, went yesterday as low as
81 O5, while to-day there was transfer at
81 o6sz, being equivalent TO the figure lor
spot option, with seasons storage paid.

Quite drop in prices have occurred in the
Barley market within the past twenty-four
hours Yesterday everything went awry,
and there seemed TO be no bottom TO prices
while the rain came patterlng down. But the
return of sunshine has created steader feel
ing to-day and the situation has little
brighter outlook. In the Call Board Deem
Der Barley was hammered down yesterday 10
81 10% being quite decline from 81 23A,
which was the selling figure four Gays ago.
The same option opened to-day at 81 16 ana
closed in the regular morning session al
81 IA, showing the situation yet to be OF
1everIsh character. More rain would cause
further decline. OF course the sample mar
ket was affected under such circumstances,
and marked reduction was made in the ask
ing prices tor table offerings.
The lowering of Oat prices yesterday has
not brought out any increased custom, and
business Therefore continues of dragging
character. There is goodiy array OF offerings,
but sales are not being forced, SO that the
market is steady though quiet
