in -four and wheat has been marked, and
the tendency Is still upward. Why this Is
80. what cause produces it We are unabieto
give a good reason. Our exchanges all re-
port that greater breadth was sown In
wheat last fall than usual and the wheat
never looked healthier than now. Papers
in Southern Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and
parts Of Kansas report fine prospect for
more than an average crop. Michigan
papers think that Notwithstanding the gen.
eral feeling OF encouragement IN regard 10
winter wheat in that State, the last TWO
weeks have produced such q changed APP
pearance i'm it as to promise bountifnl
CROP In Virginia, Georgia and Tennessee,
which are fast becoming wheat countries,
there will be large crops. In California
there never has been better PROSPER Ior
the wheat crop than at present. a vast
area is planted with grain, and the recent
opportune rains are extremely favorable To
an enormous yield. The best authorities
in the State estimate the wheat crop at from
20, ono, Oc0 TO 35,OaOG0O bushels; This Is nom
ten to fifteen million bushels more than the
yield of any previous year.
The stock of wheat in store in Chicag" on
Nav itlI was l,2l9,2il, an excess OF the same
time last year of 2lO,Il3; in New York, on
the last Of April, 1895, llG, an excess OF nearly
400 co.. bushels over the same time last year,
which shows that there is grain enough,
hut probably held for advance prices. The
stock of -four in Chicago May !, 49,, was
y ,Ioa barrels; same date, IS7l. di"1i barrels,
and in 1870, 5j,2S barrels.
Our market closed with an advance III DC
per barrel on -four and lnr per hu>hel on
wheat.
Corn has advanced &c per bu he! during
the week Oats, rye and barley have ruled
quiet but firm.
The provision trade is steady with good
demand. The stock of pork is not heavy.
There is considerable country cured meats
offering, but they are extremely duh, and
prices are almost entirely nominal.
Batter has been in request for choice
table, but common lots have been slow and
hard to lie disposed of.
Cheese has ruled duh, aS general thing,
the quality and the range Of prices being
wide; the quality, however, is steadily inn
proving.
Eggs have been steady in price through
the week, with good demand for city use
Potatoes have d clined during the week,
but the advance in breadstutis will probably
have tendency to give better tone 10 The
market
Seeds have moved only in a light way
as the season is about closed, and the stock
now on hand, which is not lnge, will have
to he carried over.
Dried Apples firm and advanced little.
In the grocery trade there is an advance,
and the market is firm. In teas and coffee
there is disposition on the part OF holders
to meet the reduction Of tariff, which goes
into effect July lst, but the short crop OF
coffee and the advance in gold has aS yet
kept the market nearly up to prices before
the passage Of the free tea aud c"if'e bill.
The importers Of tea will doubtless keep
very light stock on hand, sufficient 10 sup
ply actual demand, and leaving all import
ations in bond until after the lst of July.
For the next three months We Shal! not
have that cheap tea so lon9ed for, AZ all
concessions in prices will be eat up between
the wholesale and retail dealer, but weInay
have a better grade at the same price.
In thu wool market we have Ia report q
dullness in the trade, and II is not probable
that large sales will be made nj the present
prices. In Boston "A further decline is cX-
pected in domestic. woods, the sales being
Nn1, tl,a 1.,t IL, nI
last March. The eastern mlnuiic .urer>
will soon have TO replenish their stock
when prices will probably b" made.
The iron market is steady and without
change in prices during the week with
light trade. In pig iron prices are steady,
but manufacturers generally are not dis
posed to buy in advance Of their wants.
