While no changes are noted In the price of either futures or cash at San Francisco, the market is in excellent shape there, with prices easily maintained at former levela Locally there was no ohange in bar ley prices today, futures being quoted on t Portland board of trade at the Ban i figures that ruled yesterday. Howrer. there was a disposition among some of the southern buyers to shade their Quotations a Dit. ana a saie or 200 tons of barley for January-February delivery was made at $36.76. The market lor oats futures was just about able to hold its own today with bids and asked values at yesterday's figures. An actual sale of $00 tons for February delivery was made at $31.75. which is just about the ruling figures. There was no change in wheat on the board today, and the oash situation. while firm. Is rather dull, wltn values unchanged. While millers are still anx ious to secure supplies of bluestem. none are being offered under $1 a bushel, and even at thle prioe It Is doubtful if any great quantity could be obtained.
