COMMERCIAL.
Saturday an Exceptionally Dull Day in
the Wheat Market.
The Demand for Barley for Brewing
and Shipment to England
Continues.


veloped a little firmer tone during the
informal meeting, and it was continued
through the regular morning session OF
the Can Board. There was scarcely any
trading in May futures. but the closing
prices show that an advance of 5sc was
effected and sustained. December re-
ceived considerably more attention than
May, and an advance of 12c marked the
Improvement for the day as compared
with Fridays closing rates. Spot Wheat
is unchanged, and although shippers are
in the field for choice lots, there is moth
ing offering and nothing coming to hand
in the way Of receipts. It is generally
conceded that nearly all desirable stock
is in few hands, and that growers have
nothing to offer. The demand for Barley
for brewing and shipment to England
continues, and it is reported that a vessel
is soon to load Barley from Southern Cali
fornia direct for Europe.
In the local Produce markets the move
ment of trade yesterday was fairly active,
and the fluctuations in values were COM
paratively few. Oranges are in moderate
supply, and desirable stock meets with
ready sale at quotations. The inquiry for
common grades is light, and even shading
of asking rates fails TO clean UP inferior
stocks Apples are scarce and the de-
mand is Of small proportions. Lines are
selling fairly well, and Lemons are quiet.
Vegetables are in good supply and the
low prices have brought about quite an
extensive inquiry. Tropical Fruits are
plentiful, and the quoted rates are steady.
Dried Fruits are at a standstiI, and the
only trading is in a small jobbing way
Prices are not quotably lower, but they
cannot be called firm. Creamery Butter
is arriving freely, and there is some shad-
ing Of the low prices now quoted.
Dairy Stock is duh and weak. Eggs
are a shade firmer, with supplies quite
nperai Cheese remains steady Poultry
is dull, and prices on some descriptions
are lower.
