Barely Market for Week.
Barley markets in the last week
were slow. as the receipts were small
even for this eason and little Of them
was inviting to the mailing trade,
though fair for feeding grain. The
latter was steady in value for which
the inquiry was only moderately ac-
tive. Mailing barley of good type was
rather better with a higher range OF
sale prices. Barley seeding is gone on
we'll for the cold and backward time
for planting and prospects are gen.
orally called fair for the promise, at
this time, for a new crop. Prices for
the higher qualities are up and may
cause the planting of some poor seed,
otherwise the indications are thought
to be favorable in the northwest for
the barley crop. OF course the plant
ing time is not the date to settle har-
vest results. Of bushels or quality.
