SPOT WHEAT UNCHANGED-FU-
TURES EASIER.
Barley Firm, With No Bright Feed
OHering-Only Light Trad
ing in Oats.


| Spot wheat is unchanged; the local mar
| ket is acting entirely independent of Chi
cago; local futures are easier, while at
| chicago the May option advanced within
| &c of the dollar mark; export trade has
| been very slow thus far this month Bar
| ley is firm, with no bright feed Offering
receipts to-day were very small; options
| are firm and fairly active. For several
| days past there has been only light trad
| ing in oats, receipts, however, have been
| moderate, and prices are sustained. Small
yellow corn has been advanced, being in
small supply: other kinds are unchanged;
| market is steady.
| Hay is firm; for a few days the weather
| and the holding off of buyers caused an
| easier feeling, but prices were sustained
| to-day 5 receipts are small; considerable
| of the hay is coming from Nevada, princi-
pally timothy and alfalfa; the first-named
| is worth SIS 50Ql4 per ton 1t is not thor
| oughly understood and buyers do not take
hold readily. Bran and middlings are a
| trifle easier.
| There is no Improvement in apples, eX-
| cepting for fancy reds; receipts lib
| eral and the demand is not sufficient TO
| allow of an advance in prices wormy
stock is not so plentiful as it was. There
| has been very slow call for oranges and
| lemons and prices show no changes; the
| fruit auction sales continue, and conSid-
| cradle fruit is thus disposed of at fair
prices.
Butter has declined; the market has
| been tending that way for some days; re-
ceipts are more liberal. Cheese is weak
| and lower Eggs still on the down
grade; all dealers are Well stocked and
the pressure to sell is forcing. prices
| down; buyers are not active, feeling that
| the market will go still lower.
