WHEELING, Tuesday, May ID
Coffee, easier Provisions, arm. Dried Fruits,
dull. Sugar is stronger, and it looks very much
as if there would be another advance, as win be
seen by the following from the shipping List of
the 18th lust;
1.-THE easier temper of the market and indifier-
ence of buyers that prevailed during the early
part of the week has proved to be only tenn
porary, and at the close of business yesterday
the improved demand and strong bids made by
buyers was in sharp contrast with the condition
of affairs described in our last issue The strong
er tone reflected from Europe yesterday, and the
day previous seems 10 have been the turning
point and buyers apparently abandoned
their efforts 10 force out cheap supplies,
partly because there were no weak holders, and
partly because previous experience has suggest
ed the wisdom of securing any supplies avail
able at reasonable prices. In this way moder-
ate quantity of centrifugal was taken on the ba-
sis of ~ cents for 90 test but yesterday when the
same bid was frequently repeated 1t found no
sellers and scarcely any stock offering, and the
situation reflected all the strong features that
prevailed ten days ago. Although retners do
not appear TO be in need of stock for immediate
piled for future wants, they are nevertheless
keenly alive 10 the strong statistical position OF
the worlds supply and the necessity OF embrac-
ing every opportunity 70 keep an ample stock In
