Use for May and July nominal. Prices weak
ened slightly after the close, and then. with
large demand, prices Of May rose to 7Ss4@
7S7sc, with considerable trading at 7Ss4c.
subsequently values fiuctuated, with occa-
sional weakness and fair business on the
change. New York exports were 1894 blu
of wheat for the last two days. and Baltimore
7,06l bu for the same time. Weather was
called fine in the winter wheat belt, but bad
crop reports from Illinois seemed to be the
main foundation of strength.
Following are the closing wheat quota
tons: No. l hard, April, 79c; May; solsc;
ern, April, 77l2c: May, 7sasc; July, sossc;

Receipts of wheat for the past two days
were 246 cars, shipments same time rs cars.
There was fair early demand from local
millers for good milling wheat, but it was
limited and soon filed after which the mar
ket dragged along rather slowly until the
close. Low grades were dull and hard to
outside points, except little inquiry for
hard wheat on original way bill, with but lit
tie offered.

GENERAL PRODUCE.
AS it is drawing so near the time for the
arrival of grass, butter dealers look for
some unsteadiness in prices. Buyers are
holding Off, taking only as necessity seems to
demand. Still, receipts of fresh choice
makes are arriving in such small quantities
that they are all required for present home
use. and even more could find ready market
at the present prices. Medium grades are
rather neglected and are moving slowly. The
apples on hand are held with the same de-
gree of steadiness as has been lately prevail
ent. The outlook for more activity in
new vegetables is more promising.
The egg market is in weak and decidedly
unsettled condition under the heavy offer
ings of the past few days The demand,
of dressed poultry find a ready market at
full prices, and for some lots that are very
nice. rather fancy prices are obtained. The
local supplies of cheese are not large, and
while holders will make no concessions, buy
ers are inclined to hold off or to take as little
as possible. There were no offerings of
strawberries on the market. The outlook for
trade in oranges is good. Florida oranges
are scarce and firm. Lemons are moving
with considerable degree of firmness. A
fair trade is reported in bananas. The sup
ply of veal is little smaller, but the market
is weaker, owing to butchers being pretty
fancy. The present shipping demand for
potatoes is fair. and car lots are quotably
higher than in small quantities.
