COMMERCIAL,
Possibility of Syndicate Wheat Being
Dumped on the Market,
Sample Trade in Barley Very Slow,
the Demand Being Limited to
Local Wants.


The demand for Wheat for export purposes
is not of very positive character. AT the same
time, buyers are promptly found for all suit
able offerings at current figures. There is not
much inclination to lay in heavy stocks, as
there is possibility of the Syndicate Wheat be-
ing dumped on the market at any time. Such
an event would tend to create soft market.
This interest is credited with owning from
100000 to $50, 900 tons. Sooner or later it
is likely to be crowded to sale, when buyers
could probably operate to good advantage.
Sample trade in Barley is very slow, the de-
mand being limited almost wholly to local
wants, which are of jobbing character. Re
ceipts are small, but prices lack firmness, the
situation being largely in favor Of buyers.
Recent rains have dampened speculative
operations and business in the Call Board is
not of any magnitude. Growing crops are
said TO be looking fine.
Milling Oats OF choice character are none too
plentiful but with ordinary feed qualities the
market is abundanty supplied. The volume
OF business is not heavy, though sufficient to
keep matters in moderate motion.
The produce markets are dull. Asparagus
declined sharply, Butter plentiful aud weak.
Lggs hrmer. Potatoes in good demand.
Onions steady. Poultry unchanged. Game
dull Rhubarb is lower.
