WHEAT-Last Saturday the market took an
upward turn, and an average of about 214c q ctl
was established. The improvement was based
more on the situation at Chicago and other CEN
tiers than in any direct local cause. Speculation
also played some part in the advance movement,
and quite lively trading occurred in the Call
Board arena. Shippers came fairly we'll to the
front, and bought with freedom at the highest
figures All offerings of standard grade found
prompt custom at range of 81 3354@1 35 p ell,
which figures may be said to represent values
to-day, though the market evinces less buoy
ant tone than prevailed couple of DAYS ago.
BARLEf-Weakness has apparently disap-
least. At the moment there is very good de-
mand, and all offerings receive full recognition
Trade would likely be much more prompt and
QUICK were 1t not that asking figures have been
raised to point which causes buyers to pur-
chase sparingly. We quote prices as follows

BUTTER-Large arrivals keep the market in
easy condition. A goodly amount of the ar
rivals come in excellent coalition, but yet the
quantity of low-grade stock is larger than can
be conveniently handled, as nearly all buyers
want the better article. Receipts for the past
week were 10000 pounds more than for like
period last year. We quote: Fancy. l6@l7c;

CHEESE-There is weak tone to the mar
ket. and change for the better is not likely for
some time We quote: Choice to Fancy, SO
sc: fair to good, COCO; Eastern, ordinary to
fine. SQ9l41zc p q.
EGGS-The immediate situation is not par
tcularly encouraging for sellers. Strictly select
California sell TO advantage but ordinary quail
ties do not move off so well, and the market
for such stock is dragging one. Eastern pro-
duct is offering at figures that give little or no
margin over first cost Quotable at l615 Gil1ac

Eastern. 1455Gi5Zc p dozen.
POULTRY-The market is settling down to a
, state of quietude. Receipts of domestic fowl
are not excessive, but Eastern shipments still
come along and help to keep prices easy. Live
