PIrrsBURG, May 27.-The frmness
which has characterized the egg market for
a week or more continues, and with light
receipts and an average demand prices are
tending upward. New York is higher now
than il has been for a couple Of months or
more, and unless there Is au advance here
or a reaction there, we may look for still
smaller receipts, as western shippers as IL
now stands can ship 10 better advantage 10
New York than to Pittsburg. There is a
continued steady demand for choice butter
and fine cheese. PotOtoes continue in de-
mand, and as will be noted, we have ad-
vanced our quotations on old, which are
still much cheaper than new, and besides
are in considerably better condition than
usual at this season of the year. Poultry
continues in very fair request, and COM
mands full prices. Evaporated fruits are
moving more freely, and prices are hrmer.
Strawberries and all kinds of new crop
vegetables continue in good demand.

CHICAGO. May 27.-May corn bobbed up
: cents to-day and closed at 4 cents advance.
The cash market was well attended by the
few shorts who appear TO be standing out,
waiting for an interpOsifion or providence
in their favor. 1t Is Surmised that the
principal short in the market is the same
big trader who for so long has been playing
the short side Of everything which tits posi-
Die TO sell for future delivery. Partridge
apparently, however, can stand as severe
an application Of the thumb screws without
wiucine as apy one, and although the guess
as 10 his position in the May corn deal may
be wrong, no one expects to discover con-
irmation or denial of IL from his demeanor.
The wheat trade to-day was almost wholly
of a local character. The weaker opening
was due to clear weather and lower cables,
but there was a fair demand, few outside
buying orders being received, and local OPP
orators took on little wheat at the lower
prices, which caused the temporary al
vance. Oats attracted little attention and
ruled a trifle easier, the weakness being
due 10 heavy receipts. Provisions, moder-
ately active and lower Flour. dull and
