The local egg market has been giving
evidence of weakness for some time past,
which NAV be attributed 10 increased re-
CENTS and decreased demand. Tne de-
mand for consumption usually falls on
with the advent Of warm weather, anu
then BUYERS for cold storage are noldlng

demand for butter, and then as sharp ae-
cline is expected, buyers are purchasing
very sparingly: however, the trade here Is
in good shape for decline, as they are
nearly all bare OF stock-some OF tnem
have been unable TO meet their orders OF

CHICAGO, MAY 2.-The center Of interest
on Change to-day was the May delivery.
In wheat particularly IL was not nearly as
lurga ac awpactpd ConcpOvauflV there was
not the pressure 10 sell May that the trade
had anticipated. Only about two million
bushels OF wheat went round. The most OF
the Nav delivery finally rested with Eg-
gleston, who represented the Cudany
CLIQUE The fact that there was no press
ure 10 sell MAY, the constant talk OF the
drouth in Europe, the absence OF any rain
of Importance in Kansas and continued
backwardness in the Northwest were all
strong factors. The market turned weak
er during the Taft hour, but closed a shade
higher for September. Corn frmer and
higher. Oats strong and shade above
Saturdays close. Provisions active, strong
and higher. Flour, dull aud unchanged.
