WHEELING, May II, 1892.
An improved demand for butter is noted
by some of the dealers, but prices remain
unchan sed and there are no indications OF
an advance On the contrary, prices are
more likely TO touch lower than higher
range. The egg market remains in about
the same condition as reported last week.
Strictly fresh stock continues to move free
", and with supplies only about equal to
requirements holders generally do not an
ticlpate any immediate reduction in prices.
A better inquiry for cheese has developed
since the decline, but the market continues
easy at quotations. Although the weather
steadily grows warmer, it does not seem TO
affect demand for fresh, sweet lots Of live
