The general pro5uce markets to-day were con-
slderahy excited In the early part OF the DAY. and
pr ceB rose considerably under the indatlou Of

symptom Of falling, produce became weak, and
the advance vas not sustained.

buyers would not respond, and the t1ansar.ions
amounted to only about 800 brls at $40 0O1O.50
for White Winter, and 80 00G39 80 for Splnc E1-
