 ing of the Week

Morris avenue began the week with a fair business yesterday, there being quite demand for fruits and vegeta- bles. As the receipts in the flour and grain market were light 1t caused change in the price of meal. pure wheat bran and prime cotton seed meal. Tn the meat market, lard, dry salt short ribs and rib bellies made some ad- vancement fin price. There was a. suf- ficient supply of lettuce, celery and grapefruit on the market and the price remained unchanged The supply of poultry was still limited however, the prices did not change As the egg mar ket was well filled up. there was & drop of several cents in the price per dozen
 It is thought that as the weather continues to grow warmer, the supply on the market will be sufficient to cause change in prices. Below ara quotations as they stood yesterday

DELBRUECK SPEAKS
 ON RECIPROCITY

Berlin. March 1.-The Prussian minis ter of the interior. Clemmens Delbrueek, speaking today in the reichstag, referred to the defeat of Canadian reciprocity and the favored position of Canada in regard to wood pulp.
 He said Germany, while reserving the old definition of the most favored nation clause for Europeon nations and also for other nations which did not adopt a spe- clal definition of that clause, might find other possibilities which would be useful in the case of the American negotiations concerning wood pulp. Germany, he con tinued. had powerful weapon in her new treaties with Sweden and Japan, the ben efits of which she would be able to refuse to the United States.

WHEAT OWNERS
 DISCOURAGED
Owing to Smallness of Visi- ble Supply Decrease-Net
 Decline at the Close

Chicago, March 4.-Owners Of wheat showed diseouragement today owing to the smallness of the visible supply de- crease. Largely in consequence the close was at net decline of F c a4 e 7sc. Final. trades left corn s c 4c down. oats off F c Ssc and hog products e1s d 17i2c less expensive than IS hours be- fore.
 Selling on the part of last week s buyers was the order in wheat With the exception that winter killing had been reported in some sections and that there was talk of drouth loss having occurred in California, the bulk of news proved unfavorable to holders. The visible supply decrease of only 492,000 bushels was severe disappointment for the bulls and was an unexpected enlargement of the supply on ocean pas sage and of world shipments in general.
 Elimination of the short interest as the result of last weeks decline proved of ordinary support and started prices on the down grade right from the out set. It was noted that foreign ex- changes made response to bullish en- thusiasm here. This did not apply to Buenos Ayres. but there were fore casts of larger arrivals at that port from the interior fractional rally at the close afforded just mite of sun shine to the friends of higher quota tions. though the final tone showed rather unsteady if not positive nervous ness. During the session May ranged from $1.03sa @1.04Ss, with last sales at S1.0Sa @1.037s, a loss of F O ssc net.
 Owing to unsettled weather, corn opened with a bulge to the highest point yet reached on the crop, but gen eral selling to realize profits ensued Furthermore, there was an absence of shipping demand. The country appeared disposed also to increase offerings. May fluetuated between 71c and 72o, closing easy at Fl h c, just l4 under Saturday night. Cash grades were weaker. No. 2 yellow was quoted at 6S1a e 69e for car | lots
 It was a narrow market in oats There was some realizing by longs, but but il was not so extensive as in corr and wheat There was fair support or the weak spots Outside limits touched for May were 5S1sc and 527s @5Sc, witt the close F down at 53c eyen
 Notwithstanding an advance at the yards. packers and spectators took the selling side of provisions. Accordingly the market weakened and In the enc exhibited a decline all around-porl< 1( @17 F C and the rest of the list 2 E O 5c
