Business produce circles was fair, all posi-
bly, that could be expected in view Of the wealth
er and bad condition of the Streets As regards
butter and eggs there is but little that Is new To
nOtej the demand continues light and prices
weak but unchanged. Some dealers say they are
able to obtain the outside quotation for strictly
fresh eggs, and il is Intimated that In some In
stances picked are sold for fresh Beans ana
dried fruits in better demand. Poultry, moth live
ana dressed, is selling readily at quotations
The provision market presents no new points of
interest. Really but little Is doing In this mar

GRAIN.
The local wheat market continues In @ strong
position. Bidding on Change gives evidence
that dealers are more interested in the cereal.

wheat: Local markets rule steady, with prices
unchanged. The demand for choice grades
seems to be good, but sellers are slow TO dis
pose OF stock at present quotations. Primer
prices everywhere have started freer move
ment of grain, as the increased arrivals would
indicate. Futures are in fair favor, also
lower grades Visible supply shows very light

Corn-rhe questions concerning this cereal
are difficult OF solution. The enormous yield re-
ported by national and State statisticans gave
promise OF lower prices, and great abundance
but the actual condition is the reverse. Corn
ers" are posslble prices for spot and futures are
| pushed upward, and cash deliveries that Will
grade, ''beg reasonable Doubt are very
scarce. The ''corn dOdger" and the "hoe cake"
languish, and the sound, dry, plump and clean
maize is 10 seldom quantity in those parts"
