WHEAT MARKET MORE ACTIVE
AND PRICES HIGHER.
Barley Firmly Held at the Quota
tions-Both Feed and Brewing
Have Advanced.

Wheat is higher; the local spot market
is more active and holders are firm in
their views; options are stronger, though
not particularly active. Barley is higher,
caused by the dry spell, and offerings are
firmly held at quotations.; both feed and
brewing have advanced; options are Also
higher. Oats are firm; supply and de-
mand about balance, and dealers are hold
ing up TO quoted prices; were any change
made it would be for an advance. Large
Yellow Corn is not plentiful and is higher;
other kinds are quite steady. Rye is firm
at the recent advance; not much Offering.
Buckwheat is scarce and is higher.
A further advance has been made in
Hay; good rain would reverse the situa-
ton; this is the second advance made
within the week. Bran and Middlings
are very firm at the recent advance.
The Apple market has been in better
shape during the week: prices advanced
and there is more inquiry. Mexican Lines
are scarce and are firmly held. Not much
call for Lemons; strictly fancy stock is
in light supply and is firm at quoted
prices Oranges are in liberal supply; the
demand is rather slow and prices show
no Improvement
During the past few days the Butter
market has become steadier; the demand
has improved and stocks are not as heavy
as they have been. Cheese is weak
ample supplies for the demand Store
Eggs are steadier; Ranch are lower and do
| receipts of domestic are increasing
slightly.
