regarded bearish. May opened Ac lower

great amount of wheat wanted to begin with
the price declined steadily to 7O9sc. The de-
cline was accentuated by report from Kansas
City to the effect that the Kansas crop had
without doubt improved wonderfully in the
last few days The more the Government re-
port was considered and analyZed the more the
trade was Inclined to doubt If 1t could right
fully be given a bearsh interpretation and
many OF the early sellers wanted back former
holdings. May wheat from around 7oJ%c
to 71%c. In the end the market began to Yield
to the little peeping note Of improving pros
poets in Kansas and to turn a deaf ear to the
perfect howl of distress from. other quarters
Liquidation set in on heavy scale and the
market lost the advance about as fast as II
gained it. May closed with sellers at 71k1

HIDES, TALLow, WOOL AND HOPS.

Quotations for new Spring clip of Wool are
given. The market remains very dull
There Is nothing in Hops
Hides are quiet and prices are considered too
high in comparison with Leather. The circu-
lar of W. b. Sumner & Co. says:
1.-The hide business remains about the same
as last quoted. Prices continue at liberal fig
ures and sales fairly active of certain
grades Of hides and there is little or no sur
plus stock in the market. Harness and Skirt
ing Leather has been quite active during the
past season and the better grade of hides COM
mand liberal values. We inclined to think
that the present figures on hides will continue
for some time at least. For the local market
quote: Wet salted heavy steers are in de-
mand for harness and skirting; wet salted me-
dunn and light steers are fairly active wet
salted cows sell readily; wet salted veal, kip
and calf are active and rule at full rates
Owing to the dry seasons which have pre-
vailed in California during the past year the
tallow output has fallen on ana the stocks
on hand at the present time are very small
Tallow has advanced about l cent per pound
since March /, and the supplies at present
received hardly sufficient for the de-
mands of trade. We look for an active tai
low market"

DEc1DUoUs AND CITRUS FRUITS.

Fourteen boxes of Cherries came in and sold
at 81 50Gl2 per box
Arrivals of Strawberries were "a chests and
brought good prices.
There is no change in citrus fruits. the mar
ket being freely stocked with all kinds.
This bids fair to be fine fruit year. Stocks
of canned and dried fruit have run down to
almost nothing, and owing to the shortage in
the Eastern crop the Gamers and driers are
making preparations to handle more than the
usual quantity. The crop bids fair to be spot
ted, the latest advices report more less
of drop almost everywhere. There will prob
ably be plenty of fruit though the crop will
hardly be enormous, as many have thought
up to the present.
