WHEAT STEADY AND THE
PRICES UNCHANGED.
Barley Still Offers Sparing1y, and
is Firmly Held at Former Quo
tations-Oats Quite Dull.

offers sparingly and is firmly held at
unchanged prices; the May option is

choice Oranges. Lemons are dull. Mexl-
can Lines are firmer. Pineapples are
higher. An auction sale of Oranges and
Lemons was held to-day by a leading

Butter and Cheese are unchanged; am
pie supplies of both; prices are steady.
Eggs continue to decline; the floors are
full and the buyer has entire control of
the situation
