Trading in Wheat Futures Almost at
a StandstiIl.
Holders of Shipping Keeping Their
Stock Well in Hand, Expecting
a Revival in Values.

Trading in Wheat futures yesterday was al
most at standstiIl, and were 1t not Tor
moderate measure of activity In December
and May Barley the transactions in the CAN
Board would have been extremely dull anu
uninteresting. at present the holders OF
Wheat desirable for shipping purposes are
keeping their stock well in hand in the hope
that before the end OF the year there Will De d
revival in values. 1t is true the English mar
ket maintains good, steady condition, ana
that it's course for several weeks past has been
slow but upward, but the uncertain feature
about the future is the quantity of Wheat re-
manning in Russia that would be available Tor
export This source of supply is always diff
cult TO gauge, but there is u very strong I'M
preston that there is an abundance there,
and the more conservative operators look
only for moderate advance in values. The
local market is inactive. and appears to be
sadly lacking in stability, but the export
movement is keeping up good, steady vol
ume, and as long as this continues the out
look is not discouraging.
In the local Produce markets sales were
rather light yesterday, and fluctuations were
both few and small. Choice Apples are scarce
and held for full figures, while the ordinary
grades are abundant, and prices cover quite "a
wide range. Table Grapes are in liberal sup
ply, but the inquiry is rather small There il
some shading OF the quoted rates. owing to
the cOQQlllOQS II WHICH recent COLI
slSnments have been received. Wine Grapes
are very slow TO sell, but there is very little
Offering. ounces are becoming scarce. but
prices are no higher. Dried Fruits are selling
steadily, but sales generally are IN small lots.
Prices are held quite firmly, however. Nuts
meet with fair inquiry.
Dairy products continue steady, the de-
mand for Butter being limited TO the best
grades OF creamery. Ranch Eggs are firmly
held. Poultry is quiet. The Mining Share
market was inactive yesterday.
