MARKET.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 9.-The jobbing in
Quiry for creamery extras is light, and retail
ers are not taking stock freely. Still holders

steady at quotations. Arrivals Of extra
diaries are moderate, with a good local call,
and the market firm. Firsts are steady. Sec
onds are moving in a fair way and not In ex-
cessive supply. Roll and print is firm. Pack
ing stock Is strong. Eggs are nc higher,
and this too in the face of rather liberal re-
ceipts. About seventy cases were taken by
jobbers on change. Chickens are very scarce
and strong. Quotations are higher on all
grades, as well as fowls and ROSTERS. Tur-
keys are steady at unchanged prices. Fancy
ducks and geese are wanted, and not enough
are coming in to supply the demand. Veal

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 9.-The local wheat
market opened weak and lower this morning,
IN sympathy with all other markets of the
world. New York, 112c lower, and Chicago
weak and nervous. With the above condi-
lions existing, our market opened weak and
inactive during the greater part of the morn
ing session. Chicago reported a good cash de-
mand. for milling purposes. Duluth reported
100000 blu Of wheat taken for export. Brad
streets failed TO make their report today.
1t Is expected, however, that the report will
show a decrease of 1000, 900 Blu in the worlds
supply. Wheat and -four on passage Is now
A~,2SO,OO0 blu. against 2S, 400, coo blu at the same
time last year. The Michigan crop report,
Just cut, reports II per cent of the wheat
crop OF 1886 is still in farmers hands, and
that the condition of the crop is good, show
Ing but little material damage. The govern
ment crop report, to be issued tomorrow, Is
expected to show 100, GOO, 600 bu in farmers
hands. Clearances for the day were liberal
of both wheat and flour, but no new export
trade of Importance is reported.
