Buy ers have been malting a more opportune mo ment to purchase further quantities and at present the exchange rates and high level of prices Jn the United States aro against business. Continental purchases display a tendency to advance their cable bids, but these quotations are still out of line as far s business with America Is concerned. Ad Verde crop reports have stimulated further tmying, which . has advanced values in the United States during the past few days. Crop-reports from continental Europe have been generally unfavorable for oats, and United Kingdom advices from the country districts are also unsatisfactory.
