Today's Quotations on Provisions, Live
Stock. Feed and Fuel
Rock Island, May s-Phe tendency of the
ing the past week Corn and oats have fol-
lowed the general decline elsewhere induced
by the more favorable crop conditions. The
break is believed to mark the end of one of
the longest periods ever known here in
which the average prices for both kinds of
grain have not varied over two cents. Late
last fall corn took d stand at from IS to 40
cents and oats at from 40 to As cents and both
have held the figures sioce. In the provision
market eggs have never been higher all
through the spring than they have been this
year, owing parity TO the heavy purchases
of the large packers and more TO the high
price OF meat, for which they are a substi-
lutte. The improvement in pastures has led
to a drop in the price of butter. which is eX-
pected to continue steadily till summer
prices are reached. Following are the whole
sale quotations in today's markets:
