that a cargo Of Argentina corn receive
ed there was in bad condition. but this
was denied by an accepted authority
in the state Of Texas. The east has

during the week, and this Is the result
OF cheaper grain from Buenos Aires.
OATS-Good trading within mar
row range was one of the leading fea-
lures OF the oats market the past week.

after their buying ceased But later bad
crop reports brought In new buying

was fair and supplies about equal to
requirements. Prices In the sample

RYE-This market held steady the
past week, and prices did not show
much of any change. rather stronger
for the under grades. The receipts have
been very small, In fact next to moth

maintain prices. A little rye was want
ed by local manufacturing concerns.
and there was no particular call from
outside.
BARLEY There prevailed an easier
feeling In this market 1t was present
in mailing grades in particular 1t also
affected all grades finally More barley
was received. There was a good run
of cars, larger than for some time. Re-
ceipts were 900 cars, compared with
222 cars the previous week and 1877 cars
two weeks ago.
TIMOTHY--Early in the week good
sales Of to arrive lots were made at
$465m475 and car Of spot seed not SO
good at $4.15 There had, as was evil

buying orders received. Some Of these
sales were at shade better prices.
This trade over the market became
very quiet: of spot seed none to speak
of was offered. There continued to ar.
rive offerings. Demand, however, be-
came tame, a little backward after the
early orders had bene filed. Though
very quiet the market continued to be
quoted as steady.

been entirely stagnant. Some receipts

offerings. There at the same time was
an absence of demand.

mand existed for timothy hay during
