day, and trade dull. There see ms still to be q
great difference of opinion among experts on
the subject of surplus stocks in the country.
Another authority now comes 10 the front
with figures to prove that with respect to the
four primary spring Wheat markets. Chicago,
Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Duluth, the
deliveries from farmers during the seven
months have been about as large as for the
twelve months in 1891 and 1892. The total
sales of Wheat here to-day were 500 tons OF
May at from 81 32@1 321s. The receipts
were 219, 794 centals. A good deal OF spot
Wheat is now offering, with 81 2712 the
average price. A larger business was done in
Barley to-day, 900 tons changing hands. Of
this 900 tons was Seller '93, new, at from
S6@S61Ec; 1000 tons spot at Sj1ac and zoo
tons May at from S61S@S6l4c. The French
markets were little nrmer to-day and the
English lower. e. g.
The Poultry market is well supplied with
carload of Eastern Ducks and Turkeys due.
Prices were steady to-day, with Il fair demand,
The Game Market Is steady, with moderate
receipts.
The Butter market is weak with no changes
in prices. Stocks are heavy. There is light
range in prices of Eggs, and the inquiry Tor
ranch 10 dull, store being given the preference.
Cheese is steady.
Outside of a small demand for shipping
business is very quiet in Fresh Fruit. Oranges
still keep piling IN on top OF heavy stocks.
Mexican Lines are firm at quotations. Cali
fornia Lemons are duh and weak.
The Vegetable market is poorly supplied
with early varieties, but arrivals are becom-
ing more frequent. Potatoes are steady and
the demand is fair. The receipts were l 1897
sacks. Choice Onions are firmly held and in
good demand. Receipts were ISIS sacks. A
little Egg Plant is offering and Rhuparb Is
again IN.
