COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing prices
The supply of clover seed is not equal to
demand. and prices have advanced fully
s. so per bushel since the beginning Of the
week. The prediction made in this column
a day or two ago that clover seed would go
to SO per bushel bids fair to come true.
Price is now So per bushel above what it
was this time year ago. Eggs are in boun-
tiful supply, and the lowest price of this
season was reached to-day. In job lots the
price is 14c per dozen. Creamery butter is
quoted at last weeks range, but markets
are quiet, and slight concessions are made
to the cash buyer Maple syrup is slow,
with tendency to lower prices. Florida
oranges of choice quality are scarce and
irmer.

WEAKNESS ATTACKS PRICES.

They Range Considerably Lower All Along
the Line-The Trade Did Not Feel as
Nervous as Oh Previous Occasfons-Win-
ter Wheat Not Tropical Plant
CHICAGo-Whcat was unsettled to-day,
but the general feeling was one of weakness,
and prices averaged considerably lower
The first tran sactions were at lLc below to
Lc zbove yesterdays last figures A heavy
sLling pressure was soon made manifest,
under the influence of which the market
broke over 1c i'll very short time but at
the bottom purchases to take visible profits
on the decline caused reaction.
There were several fluctuations within the
established range, and the close was at a
loss of about 3ssc compared with yesterdays
last figures. The cold wave made its ap-
pearance as advertised, but the trade did
rot feel as nervous over it as it did yester-
dav and seemed to conclude that as winter

not likely to prove fatal to it, especially ms it
,,rofnised to he of short dura ton the Signal
Service predicting a rise in temperature
New York operators were the first to rrasp
the situation, and it heavy selling on
orders from them which started local dealers
10 unloa ding the long wheat which they took
in on the cold wave scare of YESTERDAY
This change in sentiment was supplemented
bv weak cables early, which proved disap-
Duintment. Another incentive TO the selling
was the general feeling that the Govern
ment crop report due this afternoon would
prove a bear document, and show the stock
of wheat in farmers hands depressingly
large.
In view of all this many of the holders of
wheat made haste to get rid of it before the
break they looked tor should come, and the
bears made an equal effort TO get out a short
line for the same reason. The result OF all
rhfl WAS very weak market for the first
half hour There was then halt, and,
sellers having exhausted themselves, the
market began to react. The late cables
came in higher almost without exception.
Armour and n. e. Ream were said to be
picking up large lots or wheat, and conf
dence was restored to some extent.

A Better Demand in New York, but
Unchanged Here.

Winter fingered in the lap of spring yes
terday and repressed the genial ardor of the
business part of the community. The banks
did about the usual business, perhaps q little
more. but of new phases there were none.
The hackneyed story of abundant supply
and unchanged rates was repeated. But no
news was really good news. Adverse re-
ports, like murder. will out, and their alb
sence is always favora BILE. Bank clearings

little more active there, and there is
stronger inclination on the part Of borrow
ers to supply themselves. Quite an inquiry
has sprung up, and loan brokers have
assumed their vocation again. Business is
being done at quoted rates, which are per
cent for 30 to 80 days, 81 per cent for 80 days,
and 4@5 per cent for four months to seven

Harness Leather.

The movement in this line continues slow,
especially for heavy and light weights.
Medium weights are fairly steady at prices
quoted. Trade is not up to what it was ut
this time year ago, and there are few signs
of revival in sight. Allegheny tanners are
disposed to look on the dark side of things,
and their reports of late are mostly of blue
cast. There is, however, slight improve
ment in the past few days, and, according to
precedent. the hopeful will have their re-
ward ere long.

BUSINESS NOT BAD, BUT VALUES ARE
SHADED A LITTLE

Failure to Arrest the Kcactionary Tendency
The Natural Gassers Conspicuous in the
Downward Movement-Investors Pretty
Well Filled Up-Sales and Figures.
The reactionary tendency which charac-
terized the market on Wednesday was more
pronounced yesterday, and concessions
were made by most OF the specialties which
have been conspicuously strong for some
time. Buying lately has been very largely
on slumps and selling on rallies, and not to
hold for enhancement to ensue from devel-
opment of the properties. There must be
two sides to this game, and when one weak
ems the other suffers. Supplies are cut of.
The natural gassers were most prominent
in the downward movement. Philadelphia
Gas was firm at the opening, selling to the
extent of over 100 shares at l9. At the third
call it broke to 1874; and finished the day at
that figure bid. There were no sales Of
Wheeling. but it was offered at a. against
sales at % the day before. CHARTERS alone
of this group resisted the pressure. It nn-
ished at 81 bid. against ~ at the opening.
Birmingham made q slight gain, as did
Citizens Traction. Pleasant Valley and
Central closed down q fraction. There were
heavy ofilce sales OF the latter stock. Luster
was steady, Electro was stronger and Air.

POLICY RUNNERS A NUISANCE.
Thew Annoyed Merchants and Man.
ufacturers by Their Visits.

The reasons given for the issuing of the
order to the proprie tors of the policy
shops TO shut down are different from
those advanced upon the street last
night. The original order included the
shops where faro, roulette, etc, are
played. The completed order includes
the policy shops.
The police authorities have been in re-
ceipt of many complaints from business
men and proprietors OF manufacturing es-
Establishments that their places OF business
have been haunted twice day by policy
shop runners.
These men began outside solicitation by
drumming up business on street corners
and in bar-rooms. From these places
they extended their business TO the jew
elry manufactures and from there TO the
large dry-goods stores. Later they were
found at work in the machine shops and
hastily were heard of in tenement house
districts, soliciting business from women
and others to whom policy had been an
unknown quantity prior to their advent.
Merchants and others complained to
the police that their clerks and help were
all twisted up In policy; that their heads
were full of figures, gigs, saddles, ETC., to
the exclusion OF business affairs and that
they were using up their wages and were
being led into temptation from which
something serious might result.
On the strength of these complaints the
order was given TO the owners OF the
shops to appear in the Office of the Chief
of Police, this afternoon, there to take the
further order to shut down all business.
"A summons was sent out by Chief of

Demott's Children Not Likely to Get Any
OF His $4,000.
KINGSTON, N. y, June 9.---Justice Isaac
Demott of Commonsville, who died re-
Gently, decided his property to his wife
and made his son Charles executor.
When Charles went to Pennington, N. j.,
to attend to some of his fathers property
there, he was confronted by two men who
claimed to be sons OF the deceased, and
woman who asserted that she is the orig
inal and only Mrs. Demott.
Some thirty eight years ago Isaac
Demott met the woman, Hannah Durham
and they began living together. This
was continued for three years, and In
that time three sons were born, two of
whom are now living. AT the end OF
that time Demott left the woman and
came TO New York State with Mary f..
Sydam, his widow, now at Commonsville.
Though no legal ceremony was performed
they lived together as man and wife.
This leaves matters very muchs mixed
for the heirs. William Miller, the ex-
ecutor of the New Jersey estate, who
married a sister OF Isaac Demott, says
that none of the children are legal heirs
and that the property reverts to the
brothers and sisters and the Legitimate
children now living.
