IHE WHEAT r1ARKET QUIET
AND UNCHANGED.
Butter Weak, With Stocks rIore Than
Ampie-Very Little Trade and
Large Stocks of Apples.


"neat is unchanged and quiet, an i'm
proved market at Chicago. The balance of
the List is unchanged, also. Not much
doing. No Oats arrived to-day. The only
receipts of Corn are from the East, and
the market is very weak. No trading in
buckwheat, and quotations are nominal
Receipts of Apples were about 1,30o
boxes which. if there were an ordinary de-
mand, would not be heavy; but there is
very little trade and stocks are large. Gran
berries have declined. Prices otherwise
remain unchanged.
Butter is weak all round, with stocks
more than ample. Cheese has declining
tendency, although for the present there
are no changes. A further temporary ad-
vance is noted in Eggs, but few days
more will probably see a decline; at pres
ent the demand is good.
A further advance for most kinds OF
Poultry is noted. Stocks of California are
light, and demand improved. Some East
ern is still on the market, but no fresh
stock was added this week, consequently
the native stock had a chance. There were
only six tons of dressed Turkeys received
to-day and all cleaned up well. Game con-
tinues in light receipt, particularly quail
and Ducks; Canvasbacks are lower, the
people refusing to pay the previously
quoted high prices.
