Wheat is steady in price, with slightly i'm
proved inquiry.
Supplies of Barley are fairly liberal, but
there is more active inquiry, and prices
have strong upward tendency. The long
continued dry weather is the leading factor

kinds Is held higher and nrn al the ADVANCE.
Ranch Eggs are cheaper, and dealers are shad-
