CORN EXCHANGE.
Ihe following ia the Corn Exchange •■oport for the week ending Friday. Anril 20th, 1888:- .
The weather during the week haa been very favorable for farming operations, and threshing haa beon going on with considerable activity, the greater portion, however, going Into store. It Is expected that the balk of the cropa will be threshed by the middle .of next month. The scarcity of cornaaoks cmues ojnaiderable Inconvenience, all available or-oj .u?ed aacks are freely taken up. The market, for wheat during the week haa not materially altered, prices remaining about on a par wkh last quotations. The difficulty In obtaining trelght to London Still continues. Advice* for Australia inform aa that all suitable vessels there are readily taken up for California. Tne reports fron London to-day woald lead to the proepeot of a firmer market there, bat buyers phoe little credence In those reports, which are from day to day very oontradiotoiy.
Oats o intinue In fair demand at slightly over laat week's quotations with very few offering. We anticipate a furthsr Improvement In valuea.
Barley is still offering, bat In limited quantities, Second quality now constitutes the prfno(p»l llnea m the market, and are raore difficult to quit. Grass Seed. — No business ia being done- Large qqantltiea m store, bat no aales oan be tffdoted.
