SHARP ADVANCE IN THE PRICE
OF WHEAT.
Barley Market Quiet-Light Trad
ing in Oats at Unchanged
Quotations.


Wheat went up in jumps to-day; the
Chicago market made strong gains and
closed &c higher than yesterday; the local
speculative market was equally excited
and advanced sharply; spot wheat is
higher and is firmly held, though not
very active. Barley does not improve in
sympathy with wheat; the market is
quiet, both on and off call. Only light
trading in oats; receipts are moderate;
prices are unchanged. Not much corn
arrived; offerings of large yellow are
larger.
Trade in fruits is slow, particularly on
table grapes. Some extra wine grapes
brought better prices; demand is good
and prices are we'll sustained. Fancy
ounces and pomegranates did better.
Best grades OF butter are steady
Cheese is firm and in a small way new
brings 13c. Fancy eggs are advancing;
old prices.
