FURTHER DECLINE IN SHIPPING
GRADES OF WHEAT.
Barley Weaker for Feed Descriptions
Offerings Liberal, But Buy
erS Hold Off.

y further decline is noted for shipping
grades of wheat; futures are lower: Chi
cago has declined. Milling Wheat is un-
changed; millers, however, refuse to pay
quoted prices, and holders refuse to sell
for less; there is no desire to force sales.
Barley is weaker for feed descriptions; Of
ferings are liberal, but buyers hold off,
except at their own figures. Oats have
been rather inactive and prices have not
changed for some time; receipts have been
moderate, but it seems to take very few
to go around. The Corn market is still in
weak condition; prices have a lower ten
dency. Very slow demand for Rye,
Receipts OF Apples are getting lighter and
considerable are being placed in cold
storage; fancy Reds are scarce. The mar
ket is literally supplied with Oranges and
the demand is not quite equal TO the re-
ceipts. A fresh lot of Persian Dates ar
rived yesterday. Grape Fruit is lower

packed. Cheese at present is fairly steady,

Eggs have declined considerably during
the week. ranch and store are coming
closer together in price, the quality of the
ranch being but little better than store.
