Butter. Cheese and Eggs

There was not bid nor an offer under the
call on the dairy exchange yesterday, though
there was an unusually large attendance at the
regular session and some of those present were
continued to move off freely and the market re-
mained very firm for the same, while the lower
grades showed activity to speak of. There
would have been some trading in extras on the
exchange, but it was known that the supply was
rather light and it was feared that any buying
movement would send up the market which, it
thought, would be injudicious liberal sup
plies were expected hourly.
The top grade of fresh California eggs con-
tnued weak at the old quotation, with sales
under grades of local fresh found ready market.
Strictly fresh California fat cheese in good
request and would undoubtedly have brought more
than the quoted price had there been any obtain
able. There We're large lines of more or less
shelf worn stock offering, however, which ac-
counts for the low quotations.
Receipts were 26,600 lbs butter, As 300 lbf

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO, Aug. 27-The wheat market
inclined to be weak at the start, opening quota
tons being unchanged to B@Ac lower. The
influences that created this bearish sentiment
were lower cables and weather conditions In the
spring wheat country. The rain predicted for
last night for Minnesota and the Dakotas failed
to materialize except in portions of Minnesota,
and reports received today indicated that al
though harvesting had be n somewhat delayed
across the international boundary line by wet
weather the new crop in the Canadian provinces
Toward the end of the first hour the market
became firm, owing to buying Of September by
shorts and cash interests, the latter taking the
nearby delivery and selling December. This
resulted in narrowing of the premium on De-
cember to only &c above September and caused
September to advance from 937sc to 95c. Sen
timent became bearish again late in the day and
prices yielded TO fairly liberal profit taking by
local holders. The weakness partly due
to the poor demand for cash wheat. With the
exception of a few bids for durum wheat and for
hard winter wheat for August loading there was
no export demand today and cash sales We're
reported. The market closed easy with prices
A@3sc higher to B@Hc lower.
Small receipts and an excellent demand for
the cash grain caused strength in the
market. The market closed firm, 14@ssc above
yesterdays finals.
Oats were strong all day, particularly the
May delivery which advanced to 52c, a new
high point for the crop. The close was strong
with prices up IS @9sc-
Provisions were firm. Total arrivals today
were estimated at 46, 600, compared with $4,000
the corresponding day year ago. At the close
previous close.
The leading ff,tures ranged as folloys.

Potatoes. onions and vegetables

The market for potatoes continued firm, there
being good shipping inquiry for river goods.
with an occasional lot of fancy bringing small
premium, while Salinas Burbanks were in brisk
demand for local use and higher. Sweets were
being urged for sale at low prices, but found
comparatively few buyers, owing to the abun-
dance and cheapness of vegetables The onion
market was overstocked and dull, with prices
steadily declining.
Large lines of tomatoes came into an already
