duee Exchange Call Board on Friday was
notable Tor being the largest for any one day
in many months, yesterdays operations were
equally notable for being small. During the
day there was not sale Of May Wheat, ana
700 tons of december Wheat constituted tne
record for the day. Barley was almost as
quiet as Wheat. The syndicate Whlcn mas
been manipulating the deal for the past le"
months rested, and their brokers tooAeu
calmly on without participating ME tnose
brokers who represent the syndicate dehounce
the action of the directors OF the exchange
fixing the value of May Wheat 1or Harglhai
purposes at 81 o5, the majority OF operators
RppIaude the action and openly assert tnaI lhe
action was the only thing which prevented
scandal similar TO the Nevada Bank deal OF
1887, and furthermore, it saved scores OF
legitimate dealers from being swindled. Spot
Wheat remains unchanged, and there was
scarcely any dealing yesterday in consequence
of the excitement over Call Board matters.
An other Cereals remained quiet.
In the local Produce markets yesterday the
movement of trade was dull and uninterest-
ing. Supplies remain heavy IN nearly all
lines, and prices are low and weak.
Fancy Navel Oranges are held firmly, and
sales are beginning TO show some increase
Medium stock is abundant. and sales are
made at shaded figures.
Vegetables are selling quite freely.
Dried Fruits move Oft rather slowly, but
the market is gradually assuming better
condition.
Dairy products are selling well. but values
ore still low and unsatisfactory for producers.
Poultry is in heavy supply, and prices con-
tinue low.
