cline. The local barley market has been
declining during the week and the weak
ness continued to-day. Receipts are in
creasing. To-day's were 7,455 centals of
which 4,540 centals were from the coast.
Oats were fairly steady, especially for
red, which are in light supply Black
are arriving more freely and are easy.
Receipts to-day were 1870 centaIs. Corn
continues weak. Receipts were 600 CEN
tails Eastern.
Receipts of hay have been more mod
crate during the last few days. but are
still larger than the market requires. To-
days arrivals were 504 tons. The market
continues quiet and heavy. Bran and
mlddilngs have been we'll sustained at
unchanged prices during the week. Re-
