ment in either direction and the heaviness OF
Fridays close was in consequence felt lit
tie, though opening prices were unchanged. a
little later more disposition to buy developed
and the market gradually took on an appear
of tlrmness, prices advancing sllghtly ana
maintaining the small advantage to the close
of the short session. At the start there was
little selling by the seaboard. AS this fndl-
ca ted lack OF export demand 1t induced some
liquidation by local operators, but shorts COW
resulted. The covering by shorts was one OF
the few important features of the session
Though never heavy this buying was sufhclent
to maintain prices Another sustaining feature
was the lightness of Northwest receipts Inc
market was also helped a little by the firm
the session progressed and at the close the
market was almost at a standstill, but prices
were we'll maintained. Worlds shipments
were expected to reach g. 900, 900 bushels ana the
increase. Winter wheat points reported a gooo
cash demand, with light country offerings De,
cember opeaed a shade higher at 729sc. 1t sold
at 723sQ721kc shortly after the opening, then
advanced to 72Bc and was bringing 12%c at
the close. May ranged from 75fsQl51sc to Io3sc
and closed AG2sc higher at 5Aq757sc.
Corn was rather quiet but firm. Oner1ngs
were light and the demand followed with more
outside trade. The falling off in receipts was
a bull factor. The trade is gradually getting
over into May. December closed Ac higher at
30ss Q30l9c.
Oats were dull and about steady. Most of
the trade was in the way Of evening up tran
sactions December closed shade lower at
224 Q297sc May closed at 2414Q242sc.
Trading in provisions was almost without in
cident. The general tone was steady and prices
ruled little higher January pork closed 21So
higher and January lard and ribs shade
higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Barley and Oats.


The circular Of George Morrow & Co. says:
'Barley-Receipts for the week, SO $50 centals
So far the exports of Barley exceed those Of
Wheat for this season to date. and the outward
movement continues in a quiet way, although
1t is, Of course, hamDered by the scarcity Of
ships. Exporters Will stiu pay a slight ad-
yence for very desirable lots Of heavy bright
barley, but the market for either brewing, ex-
port or iced Barley cannot be called either
active OF satisfactory TO the holding interests,
nor can We discern anything in the near future
. make II so. Certain IL is, that California
raised a large crop Of Barley this year and a
good portion Of it Is yet 10 come on the mar
ket.
"OATS-Beceipts for the week, 81. .3l5 centals.
an increase Of 1000 ceutals as compared with
the previous week. The new crop of Oregon
Oats have at last made their appearance and a
fairly good line can be had upon future ship
nents Almost all the valley Oats are more
or less stained. Eastern Oregon and Eastern
Washington escaped the rain damage to some
extent, and we may expect some good Oats
from there. To holders Of both stained and
bright Oats would say that two things
must be borne in mind. viz: The stained Oats
are merchsntable on this market and Will sell
at q price. and secondly, the volume Of stained
Oats shipped this way must Of necessity have
a depressing effect upon the value of better
Oats.
1T is time for the seed demand for red and
black Oats to set in. and We do not look for
any decline in prices Of same. On the con
trary, it would not surprise US to see a slight
advance"

bidding up of Louisville to a point over last
night steadied the market The closing was
rather irregular. Attempts to still further de-
press Brooklyn Transit met with resistance
and the stock gained a point. Changes gener-
ally are small and mixed. but the majority
were gains. The bank statement failed 10
by visitors to the Dewey celebration, which
had been much harped on by specuiators all

Coupled with the receipt of gold by to-day 5
incoming steamers this had the effect OF

Prices Of stocks arrived at a condition of
stability during the week compared with the
condition represents the adjustment OF values
between the conflicting influences OF stringent
money and prosperous business. What with
unwillingness to sell at present prices and
usual readiness TO buy the market has been
remarkably dull. II has not been narrow,
has increased and buying OF odd lots has in
dicated the presence Of the bargain hunter.
even when money rates were highest. The
amounts loaned at the high rates, which were
other, were small proportion and were caused
by eager bidding OF belated borrowers who
had been dilatory about supplying their
needs from the early offerings, hoping for a
break in rates in the day
The problem for the future is. how much
farther the demand for crop moving purposes
Will encroach on deposits OF the interior banks
with New York banks and on call loans of in
terior banks placed in Wall street. With the
Bank OF EnGland's official rate advanced to 5
per cent and weak returns from the great con-
tinental banks. no further hope is entertained
of relief by gold imports. Indeed, the convic-
ton is general that any relaxation of the local
money rate would result in a prompt demand
upon us by London for gold. The movement Of
the crops will continue to absorb money for
several weeks to come and the United States
Treasury's surplus of revenue over expendi-
ture will continue to take money from the
open market unless means are taken TO pre-
vent It.
Bonds have been dull and have moved in
sympathy with stocks. United States IS de-
clined s.. new As s. IS Is and old As Is in the
bid price.
