Butter, Cheese and Eggs.

Butter seems to be trembling on the verge OF
another decline. as close buyers are not paying
over 25c now and say they are getting all they
want at this figure. Dealers report the demand
very dull though stocks not as heavy as
they a week ago.
Cheese shows continued weakness, stocks be-
ing altogether tco heavy for the capacity OF the
market
Eggs are very weak. Buyers are going about
the street looking for bargains, and are getting
them- Close buyers viii no longer pay over
3S12c, and anything over this figure represents
small sales of extra fine stock to buyers who do
not take the trouble to purchase closely. A
good many ranch are changing hands at SOC
Receipts are about the same for a week or so
past but the demand is slow.

The condition of other markets appears in the

Hides are easy quiet and unchanged Buy

giving salted stock the go-by.

Most local dealers report a dull market for
cured Pork products and barreled goods at un-
changed prices.
Chicago had quite a decline yesterday Wires

is lower. Local receipts OF hogs were a little
less than expected, and prices at the yards &c
higher but the market has had a sharp ad-
vance of late and packers were rather free SELL

small reoessions.
The opening was steady, with May unchanged

somewhat concerned in regard to the situation
in the Far East and bought quite freely at the
start Offerings were rather limited and our
ing the first hour May ranged within quarter
cent Extremely heavy receipts in the South
west induced considerable selling by pit traders
later in the session and the market became
easier May going down to S21ac. Active COW
erlng by shorts. however, checked the decline
and caused slight rally. A steady tone pre-
vailed at the close and final figures on May
were at S2stc with loss of hc for the day
Buying on small declines by prominent
commission house was the only important fea-
ture in trading in corn. Local traders were
blIllish ana offerings from this source were eX-
ceedinsIy light. The country movement con-
tinued light in spite of fine weather there be-
ing no offerings from anywhere except Illinois,
and they were very moderate. There was
little selling for outside account, but prices
showed only small changes. The close was
steady with May unchanged at 434e, after
opel;ing unchanged to hc lower at 439sc to
43a. c and selling between 431 and 43&c.
Oats shared in the general dullness and an
easier tone prevailed, although there was little
change in prices. Local traders were not in
clined to SELL owing to- the impression that the
principal long interest had added to its hold
ings and what little offerings there were on
the market came largely from scalpers. After
selling between 36xc and 311sc May closed at
SIC. The opening was unchanged to shade
higher at 31d37 &c to 3IBc.
Trading in provisions by brokers for Eng
lish houses resulted in a weak market, with
pork showing the greatest loss. The early
market was firm in sympathy with a slight
advance in prices at the yards May pork
