Especial Correspondence REcoRD-US1ox.l


this morning was of limited extent Unex-
pectedly the feeling on Wheat has eased some
what, and of course the bear clement lost no
opportunity IN trying to lower values. In
this they succeeded partially. A slight de-
cline In Eastern markets, with an easier feel
Ing abroad, is the pretext for the decline in
options. But the indications are that the best
quotations for the past week will be more
than maintained the coming. Yesterday af-
ternoon freights closed extra firm, one snip
per having engaged ship of 5000 tons car
rying capacity without any direct option,
which is equal to 26s. Sd. for orders, with di-
rect port option 2s. 3D. less, which is the
usual way of chartering To-day the advance
seems to be checked, and it is hard to dupli-
cate yesterdays charter, 25s. for orders, or 2s
Sd. less direct, being the best bid, with ships
ready to accept charter. However, shippers
might be induced to pay Cd more. AT the
Informal session of the Produce Exchange
this morning the market for Wheat was mSe
active than usual, sales of 5000 tons buyer
December changing hands at from 81 1890
i 3SM. On the regular call the transactions
comprised 1000 tons of buyer December at
from 81 371l@1 375S, and 400 tons of May
at from 81 42@1 42H. The spot market had
an easy feeling at yesterdays quotations.
Barley holds up fairly well in the spot
market. Sales on Change are very limited,
however, only 400 tons changing hands-200
buyer December at 91$4c, and 200 tons seller
1892 at s64c.
Oats and Corn are lightly dealt in. The spot
market for Rye is slightly improved on ac-
count of the local markets being somewhat
bare. mporarily.
Fancy Batter is high and meets with splen-
did inquiry. Cheese is steady and Eggs
weak.
weak. Potatoes cleaned up fairly well to-day
under shipping inquiry.
There is no better aspect to the Fruit sitIa-
ton. 1t is the old story, of choice Fruit sell
ing well and inferior grades not desired. The
market is especially glutted with Apples and
Grapes.
Considerable imported Poultry viii be car
ried over to next week, while California stock
has cleaned up pretty well. Young Turkeys
are not at all desirable as yet.
Eastern Lard has taken slight advance.
