Plttsburg Produce Market.

PITTSBURG, August 2S.-There appears
TO be better feeling in the egg market,
and while we make no change in our quota
tions, the impression prevails on the part Of
well-posted operators that there will be an
advance in the near future, as cooler wealth
err, now near at hand, will decrease the ar
rivals and cause an increased demand. A
continued steady demand is reported for
choice butter, although there is no dlsguis-
ing. the fact that il is being supplanted
largely by "oleo," the latter being so much
cheaper. Cheese continues to move freely
and the indications at present point TO
higher prices. All kinds of domestic fruits
in liberal supply and prices are low Poul-
try in fair demand, chickens in particular.

CH1cAGo. August 2s.-The bears in wheat
and corn had their innings to-day. Inose
in wheat made dash at the market at the
opening and were encouraged oy the news
which came to hand in the course OF the
session, to followit up with succession OF
heavy rushes and prices closed 2isc lower
than they did yesterday. Sensational re.
ports telling Of ice in the wheat helds OF
! North Dakota published this morning were
not reflected in the prices at the opening.
There was pronounced tendency 70 the
selling side at the start. A reaction TOOK
place in the course of the first fifteen min
utes' trading This improvement was but
of short duration, and the market during
the next two hours suffered a series OF de-
clines, with very little reaction until noon,

les of spasmodic slumps TO 81 Oh. Ia ad-
dition to the reports Of damaging frost the
foreign markets were all lower. A slight
recovery took place in the afternoon, but
the market closed heavy and at Il Ol3s Tor
