PITTSBURG, June s.
The egg market continues fairly active
with prices unchanged. Butter continues
weak, and as will be noted, we have again
reduced our quotations. Cheese is coming
forward freely and Ohios are lower. Poul-
try continues in very fair demand, and
choice stock continues TO command pretty
full prices Old potatoes continue in small
supply, and the recent advance is well
maintained. The warmer weather has
caused an increased demand for tropical
fruit Choice green apples continue in
small supply and command full prices, but
the demand is light. All kinds of new crop
vegetables continue TO meet with very
fair demand.

CHICAGO, June 9.-A wild scramble in the
wheat pit to-day and bulge of nearly
cents in prices was due to a covert attempt
at purchasing by Partridge. The crowd
was evidently largely short, and when the
buying began it was found that there was
hardly any wheat for sale. This discovery
only increased the anxiety TO cover, result
ing in something of bear panic. Pard-
ridge soon abandoned his idea of buying,
but 1t was noticed that he was not selling
anything of consequence. The report was
current on the floor that the big operator
was selling out securities on the local stock
exchange, in view Of a possible squeeze in
wheat and corn. 1t was gossip that he had
been called for 100000 margins on short
wheat last night, and il is certain that he
was called heavily to-day. Rumor has il
that Partridge is short 5000, 600 bushels of
wheat and 1000, 900 bushels of corn. The
shorts in corn became anxious buyers when
the scare came in wheat, They were helped
materially BY large element in the trade
now talking 15c for corn on possible crop
failure. Oats were also strong and made
gains over yesterdays closing prices. Pro-
visions moderately active and higher.
