COMMERCIAL,
WHEAT FIRM AND ACTIVE, AT
ADVANCED PRICES.
Choice Barley, Both Feed and Brew
ing, Rather Scarce and
Prices Firm.

Inc Chlcago Wheat market is booming
ana the situation locally is very strong
IN sympathy with other centers; both spot
anu futures are advanced, very hrm ana
quite active. Millers are not paying a
very large premium, and milling descrip-
tiohs are no higher. Choice Barley, both
Ieed and brewing, is rather scarce and
prices are firm; there is not much doing,
generally. Oats continue in light supply;
traolng Is of fair proportions, with prices
ruling firm, as previously quoted.
Ihe Fruit market, generally, is dull.
grapes arrived more freely to-day and the
market is weaker; quotations are not
lower, except on Isabellas, which nave
been a little too high for the trade all
along; as yet Grapes do not show the ef-
fects of the rain, but later receipts prob
ably will Good Black Figs have been
received, but the demand is lacking; there
are very few White Figs here. Berry
receipts were lighter, if anything, but the
weather is against their sale and large
Strawberries are weaker; few chests of
Longworths arrived. Cranberries are
lower. Fancy Pears are weaker.
For the first time in several lays there
is no further decline to report in Butter;

unlikely. Eggs firm for all kinds; the
market is moderately supplied with Iresn
stock, but there are plenty IN cold storage,
