WHEAT FUTURES.

Wheat was as unsettled as ever Saturda
and with large trading, prices moved NJ
and down with quick turns. The tendenc,
after the first sales was to decline tor the frs
hour A few sales at 95I2c July, down, sool
took prices to 81 S4c, and then with an en-
larged demand the market went up to 95A'
July. and later fell to 94c. Changes wer,
rapid, and few minutes frequently showed
important alterations. While there wer,
some heavy deals, it did nOtappear that there
was especial concentration OF effort to bring
about anything OF decided character. Ele
vator companies sold some against cash pur
chases. There were buying orders here in
quite volume. besides others to sell, some
of the latter being long wheat, while other!
appeared to be for short account Septem
Der wheat was freely offered at Ole, with nc
takers.

rive. Elevator buyers we're the best buyers
of the contract grade, and were selling sum-

GENERAL PRODUCE.
There is good demand for choice to fancy
makes of butter, and prices OH such are
steady. Choice diaries appear TO be taken in
preference to fancy creameries though the
latter sells well. A good business is reported
crate and nearly all fresh makes. There was
no veal in the market Saturday morning to
speak of. Good to choice calves with well
covered kidneys are quotable at 5l2c. Receipts

radishes. spinach, pieplant, dande-
