WHEAT STEADIER, BUT SPOT
UNCHANGED.
Barley Scarce and Firmly Held at
an Advance-Not Much In
quiry for Oats.


Wheat is steadier; yesterdays decline
at Chicago was recovered to-day and
further gains made; locally futures i'm
proved, but spot wheat is unchanged. as
shippers refused to advance their figures
Barley is scarce and is firmly held at an
advance; in fact theere is little or no
bright feed here: it has been mostly
shipped out of the State; options are
higher. Oats are unchanged; not much
inquiry at the moment, but stocks are
not heavy and dealers are not shading.
Not much yellow corn here at present,
but there is little wanted and there is
plenty the way.
In the early part of the week the hay
market was on the advance, but the soft
weather has caused an easier feeling
though prices are not affected buyers are
holding off. expecting agdrop. Brad and
middlings have ruled gutte firm the mar
ket is well cleaned up on both.
There has been no Improvement in APP
pies; the market has, with the exception
of couple of days, been slow; stocks
are more than ample. for the demand.
Large sizes of navels are scarce and
wanted; small are plentiful Fancy lem
standards drag, and some sell below our
inside figure The market is bare of
Mexican lines, at the moment; fresh
lot will be here tomorrow. The fruit
auctions have been the means of dis
posing of considerable citrus fruit at re-
munerative prices; sales amount to about
eight cars week.
During all the week dairy products
have weakened. The softer weather and
increased supplies have caused buyers to
hold off for lower figures, particularly on
eggs. Two cars of Eastern eggs have
been received and a third is on the way.
1t Is a case of selling before the mar
ket drops still further, and leaders are
shading. Plenty of cheese here, both old
and new.
