market is lower; cargo down from Port
Costa to-day for Cape Town. Barley OPP
tions are lower, but for spot feed there
is no decline. although some dealers quote
lower; receipts are light and there is not
much offering. Very light trading in oats
to-day; receipts were small; prices are
undisturbed. Corn is firmly held at for
mer prices, Notwithstanding a lower mar
ket East. None arrived to-day.
Bran is easy and the market is lower;
recent receipts have been heavy. Hay
continues dull at unchanged prices; re-
ceiptS are light but this does not seem
to help matters.
Berries are weak and some are in very
poor order. Grapes are dull of sale and
are lower PerSimmons are offering at
81. .25 per box. Grape fruit finds slow sale
at S4q5 per box. A few figs are held for
81 per box. There are too many oranges
on the market and they find slow sale,
being green and of undesirable sizes. The

Prices for dairy produce stand as pre-
viously quoted. On butter the supply and
demand are closer together Cheese is firm

storage goods find good market. There
