The following is taken from the
West Branch, (Iowa) Times: S. ID.
Douglass returned last week from
Washington state where he has been
looking after the interests OF some
real estate investments which he has
recently made in Adams county. He
is more than pleased with the coun-
try of the great plateau and Snake
river valley which is very productive
and, though settling up rapidly there
are still splendid opportunities for the
homesteader. He brought home some
fine samples Of the crops; one potato
that weighs 2 pounds and II ounces
aud measures IL inches round one
way and IA the other, and some OF
the best samples OF winter and spring
wheat we ever saw, which can be seen
at this Office.

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, April 30.-Board OF trade
markets here were quiet to-day, as
many traders preferred to be even over
the holiday tomorrow.
Corn was strong, helped by cables,
and closed a to s@kc improved.
Wheat closed &c to H@%c down,
and oats a shade to 'hc depressed.
Provisions closed 2R@5c to 11Ec un-
der Saturday. Corn opened firm, frac-
tionally over Saturdays close. Cables
were strong and country offerings
small. There was a fair, though rath-
err scattered demand and no partic-
ular selling pressure. There was some
liquidation of May, with purchases of
July in exchange at 1B@1Ac differ
ence. During the session a squirt of
liberal offerings from an influential
trader caused a dip, but this was re-
covered, helped by the visible decrease
of 2,196, 900 bushels. Local receipts
were 166 cars. May ranged from 391ac
to 40c, and closed 3s@hc up at 40c.
July sold from 4O5sc to 41Bc, and
closed &c higher at Ale.
The trade in wheat was quiet and
consisted mostly in exchanging May
for July at a spread of 1Bc. AS a re-
suit May was relatively weaker than
July, the latter closing with an APP
pearance of steadiness. Traders gen.
orally were inclined to play eve owe
the holiday tomorrow, a fact which
contributed much to the quietude of
the session. Gables were weak and
the weather favorable, but as an off
set to these influences was the visible
decrease of 2,342,000 bushels larger
than had been anticipated. The de-
crease and the strength of corn caused
a rally following the early business,
but it was lost. New York reported
three loads taken for export. Atlantic
port clearances in wheat and flour were
equal to 1856 5000 bushels. Primary re-
ceipts were SIT 900 bushels, compared
with 569, 900 bushels a year ago. Local
receipts were 33 cars, two of contract
grade. May ranged from 65Bc to 65%c
and colsed A@%c under yesterday
at 65A @65%c; July sold from 675sc to
.67Ac, and closed hc down at 67Ae.
Liquidation of May was the feature
in oats and the discount between that
option and July during the day wild
ened to &c. The market was dull and
easy all day. The fine weather as much
as anything was the factor. Receipts
were IT'S cars. May sold between 22Ac
and 22B@22Hc, and closed hc lower
at 22Hc; July ranged from 23Ac to
23bc, closing a shade lower at 22k q
22Ac.
The provision market, under the in
fluence of a weak hog market, was
quiet and easy all day, but closed fair
ly steady. The feature was changing.
There was a moderate amount of liq-
uidation through commission houses.
July pork sold from 12.72R to S12.55,
and closed 171ac lower at $3.50; July
lard from 1920 to $7.1007.12b, clos
ing Toe depressed at $7.15, and July
ribs from $685. to $500, with the close
2h05c down at $685..
Estimated receipts tomorrow:
Wheat, 4S cars; corn. $40 cars; oats,
240 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
