Butter, Cheese and Err.

There were liberal supplies of butter on the
noors or the various houses in the commission
district, and while the market for extras and
frsts was officially described as firm at the

Sellers are plentiful In the hop market now,
but enough buyers in evidence to keep prices
on steady basis. Most Of the buying in the
last two weeks has been for export. A few
operations of covering nature can be traced to
the short sellers. but there Is practically no
current business with the eastern trade

time is attributed principally to the cheapnesss
OF prevailing values, which is causing the
brewers to stock up freely. 1t may be also

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain ana provisIon.

CHICAGO, March 12.--Sentiment in the wheat
pit was inclined to be bullish ali day, although
the market at times was nervous. Shorts and
commission houses were active buyers early in
the day because Of the firm tone of European
markets and liberal sales of cash wheat Late
in the day numerous reports of the excellent CON
dition of the fall sown crop weakened the mar
ket materially and caused a loss Of nearly all
the early gain. The close was steady. May
"a and then advanced to 95Ac. The close was
at 941s Q94Ac.
Corn was firm early because OF higher cables
and continued small receipts but weakened later
because of increased offerings In Illinois, Kansas
and Nebraska. May opened nc to &c higher
at 64% @6455c.
Oats were firm because of steady buying by
bulis May opened 1sc higher at 5S55c, advanced
Provisions were weak on scattered selling bv
pit traders and packers and because of liberal
receipts of live hogs. At the close May pork was
OF l7Aq2oc. Lard was 10c lower. Ribs were
l0c lower.

Potatoes. Onions and yegetahle.

Stocks of table potaIoes have been greatly
diminished within the last week or SO, and as
receipts are running light the market is quite
steady, although the demand is not urgent aud
is wholly local. Most of the stock now arriy-
ing is from the river districts and Oregon
shipments from the Salinas and Lompoc re-
gion having ceased temporarily. The onion
market Is strong, with very little Oregon stock
offering from first hands. while recent arrivals
of eastern yellow firmly held at the fat
rate of Sc a pound.
Receipts of asparagus continued TO increase
nearly 200 boxes arriving the early boats
and prices had another decline. The supplies
cleaned up well at the quotations, the COM
stimulated the demand. Rhubarb stood about as
before quoted, while the other vegetables were
generally firm, with choice peas higher for both
southern and bay lots.

mand, while small broilers were more plen-

there Is no life to cotton. Unless business re-

improves the pressure is likely to force prices
