1t comes mainly from outside influences,
but the falling off in receipts and the
prospect of cooler weather have in
duced a little more inquiry, and the
general opinion is that the crisis has
been passed. The volume of actual
business has not perceptibly increased,
however and receivers are still COM
planning OF not being able to clean up
their fresh supplies, SO that no higher
prices than last week can SO far be
quoted.
For the general run OF what comes
under the head OF. western extras %

fancy brands cannot be bought under "a

values, and when the frost sets in some

. of the northern. F'irsts sell slowly at
q to 30 cents. Ladies and limitations
keep fairly we'll cleaned up, and range
from 16 to 10 cents.
June creamery has not been much
sought after for several days, and sales
have been made a t % to % cents.
The jobbing trade has not increased to
any great extent, and prices rule about
the same as last week, say % to 26 cents
for tubs and &c to q cents for boxes.
But should the wholesale market show
a tendency to any advance, a brisker
jobbing trade may be expected.
No material change can be reported in
the cheese market from last week. De-
mand has been moderate, and prices
have ruled steady on the basis of 12k
to 12A cents for best northern twins
in lots to the trade, with occasional
sales at Is cents. Holders are indif
oh off a a m q
stock under 13 cents, as it cannot be laid
down here for less with any show of
profit. The general situation is still
cor sidered strong.
There has been a slow trade in eggs,
and receipts of western have accum-
ulated. Sales of best fresh gathered
western at 10 to 20 cents, with an oc-
casionaI selected lot at p cents. Or
binary lots lower. Fresh eastern at q

under the decline in wheat. While the
milIers have not yet permitted their
agents here to make sales at lower
prices, still some business was done
ION the basis of $40 on spring patents,
the price of which had previously been
about $4.20. But some of the largest
milling concerns have not yet permitted
their agents to make any lower prices.
Quotations are held steadily at $3.50 on
the best known spring wheat patents,
mill shipment. Trade committee prices
have not yet been changed.
z Cornmeal holds firm. Oatmeal and
the cereals are unchanged. Corn is
firm for track and nearby, for the reason
that such corn is scarce, with yet no
sign of any relief from the car famine
that is much preventing shipments.
Corn options are inclined to be easier,
in sympathy with wheat
Oats are in full offering in the west,
with some trouble here about arrivals
for lack of cars. The general market is
