THE HOME MARKETS.
The Grocers' Outing To-Day Had q
Quieting Effect on Trade.
CHOICE ELGIN CREAMERY ACTIVE.
Corn the Strong Factor of Cereals-Wheat

OFFICE OF THE DISPATCH,
PTrTsBURG, WEDNESDAY, June %.


COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing prices
The grocers' picnic took large number of
grocers away from their regular haunts, and
trade was quiet to-day. Supply of strawber-
ries was not so large as yesterday, but there
was sufficient for demand, and prices failed
to advance. Old potatoes have ceased to be
quantity in this market New potatoes
are in bountiful supply and markets are
weak. The supply of strictly fresh nearby
eggs is limited and outside quotations are
easily obtained. Fancy Elgin creamery IS
firm at the advance already noted, but COM
mon grades and country butter are still
drug. Poultry is scarce and firm at quota
has very much increased in the past few
stock.

A Moderate Trade in wheat-Corn Active

CHICAGO-wheat trade was only mod

ranging higher. The opening was a shade
lower and advanced 1skc for July and 1c for
the deferred futures, then eased off 156Sc
but again advanced irregularly, ruling very
strong, and the closing was X@lc higher
than yesterday. There was nothing special
in the market
Corn was fairly active most of the day, a
good general trade taking place within l1a@

a still further advance was recorded. The

dividend period and large earnings account
for the strength Of the former. The de-
mand for the latter is largely for invest
ment. The declaration of a 10 per cent divi-
dend was q strong factor in its favor.
The street railways were wanted to
larger extent than for some weeks, and in
vestors seem to be catching on to them
again. As stated, Pleasant Valley was
higher, Citizens, Manchester and Duquesne
also improved their position. Directors OF
the Birmingham Company met, but with
out doing anything, adjourned to assemble
again at the call Of the chairman. A dfvf-
dend by this company is extremely prob
lena tical.
Philadelphia Gas improved a fraction for
the day, as did Pipeage. Underground Cable
held advanced ground, but United States
Glass common, yielded q fraction. Switch,
Luster and Monongahela Water scored
fractional advances.

A special meeting of the directors OF the

the best manner of dealing in unlisted

matter was referred to the Committee on
