Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables.

Receipts of Potatoes were liberal. but the
market continued firm and higher prices were
exacted for river kinds by the few dealers who
controlled the market Trade in Oregon Bur-
banks was hampered by the non-arrival of the
manifests. which should have accompanied the
cargo brought by the last Oregon steamer and
various consignments. Large orders for seed
Potatoes were at hand and all kinds ruled
firm. Onions were steady for fancy Oregon
but Australians were weak Receipts of new

Hides, Tallo1U, Wool and Hops.

Hides continue quiet and the local tanners
report Leather very dull and unsatisfactory in
the East. There is nothing whatever new in
Hops. A local house says of Wool: The local
few buyers here are taking things coolly and
do not seem to care whether they do business
or not Scourers complain that they cannot get
orders and therefore are buying sparingly. As
a matter of fact, there is only one securing
concern here that operates with any degree OF
liberality and for the time being even this firm
lacks the courage TO purchase freely even OF
cheap Wool, and no doubt California Wools
are cheap at the present time. Shearfng in the
San JOAQUIN is pretty well over and the Wools
as a rule are very defective Only small
share has been placed with scourers and ship

shearing has just commenced, and within a

Butter, Cheese and Eggs.

All three markets under this head continue
to run along smoothly. Not for years has there
been such unanimty as to market values
among commission merchants. The contentious
and wide divergences in views heretofore COM
mon at this time of the year. and which have
kept the markets in a state of ferment, highly
unsatisfactory 10 the trade and detrimental to
business as we'll have thus far figured less
than for many years. The law of supply and
demand seems TO govern conditions now and
il is to be hoped that this state of affairs will
continue.
Butter continues to show considerable effects
of the recent hot weather, but there is now
more hard sweet creamery coming in and the
market is in improved condition in conse-
uuence Prices remain unchanged. Cheese is
still in oversupply and weak. Receipts of Eggs
fell off again yesterday. but there were still
plenty of all descriptions on hand and quota
tions showed no change.

Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO April 15.-Unofficial figures fore
casting an Increase instead of a decrease in
the acreage of spring wheat caused weakness
in the wheat market to-day. At the close the
terdays final quotations. Corn is down Bc;
oats are off Z c, and provisions sc to 121ac.
Small receipts and prediction of freezing
weather in Kansas had a strengthening inhu-
ence wheat prices at the opening to-day,
July being UP a shade TO 1sQAc, at S7%@
S11sc. Crop damage reports were again in
evidence. In addition the information came
from the Northwest in regard to seeding was
still bullish. The Dit crowd was in humor to
listen to that kind of news, and matters of an
opposite character were given scant attention
until after many of the bulls had bought what
wheat they could carry. That was done easily,
for there few orders from outside
traders. In the meantime the market had de-
veloped added firmness, the July delivery hay
ing worked up to STL C. Toward the middle of
the session sentiment suddenly veered and the
market weakened rapidly. The nause of the
pronounced change in sentiment was the an
nouncement that acreage in the Northwest
would probably show a small increase, not
withstanding expected decrease. Several
OF the larger commission houses had long wheat
for sale and there was also some selling for
short account. The market lacked any fnfiu-
entail support and continued weak until the
cloEe. After selling off TO S67sc, July closed at
SIC.
The most important feature in trading in
corn was the selling of May by the principal
holder. and consequent decline of nearly 2
cents in the price of that delivery. The clos
ing weak and the low point July
closed unchanged to &c lower. at soc; May
was at - &c
oats showed considerable strength in the
face of the weakness in wheat and corn. July
closed at 3SQ3Skc.
Pit traders sold provisions in a small way
on the weakness in corn, which resulted In
small declines throughout the list. July pork
closed l2l2c lower; lard was off sc, and ribs
were off 71ac
