rI,tsburg Proauee Market.


PrrrsBUEG, PA. March 5.-There was
sensational decline of &C in creamery but
ter on the Elgin board Yesterday. II is
said TO be due TO a fight between the East,
which Is still stocked up with June pack
inps, and the West, which desires that this
stock be marketed before the new season
opeus. The market has been quite unsat-
iSfactOrv for several months past and the
EXPORT demand has fallen of. Pittsburg
dealers saw the full effects of the decline
will not be felt here until the latter part
of the week, when the goods bought yes
| terday arrive Meanwhile the market is
weak and consumers will hold of TO get
| the full benefits of the break. II is thought,
/ however, that the extreme decline Will
not last very long, because spectators are
| likely 10 come in and clean up the market.
Eggs are slightly weaker. Fresh re-
CENTS and the supply here are light, but
the demand has been greatly reduced by
the high prices current Everyone IS buy
| ing sparinglv, fearing that the resumption
/ of river navigation will bring very heavy
supplies 10 this market.

/ firm. Cabbage is higher and sweet pota-
] toes are lower
/ There WIS fractional advance in sugar
/ I'm the East and the local market IS firm
and tending upward. Coffee Is also firm.
