The most notable developments
continue to be shown in the wheat
market, as for some time, and the ad
vances have again been radical, car.
rying flour and the entire line of GER
cal products in the wake of the up
ward movement. %
points in the sugar market the past
week,
| Butter-The tone of the butter mar
ket remains about the same as las
week with no change as to quotations
but the break in the cold weather may
cause an increase in the milk suppl!
which would have some bearing OF
the market.
Eggs-Following a steady marke
for a couple of weeks, a slump wal
registered this week and quotation
for fresh ranch are now down to $50
$50 to the producers and $S.50@95

firmer at 40c.
Wheat-The state of mind of Il
grain trade is becoming extreme

n ket. Considering the high price lev
y the unusualness of the quotations, t
y lack of any previous guiding pref
