WHOLESALE MARKET.
Very draggy." was reported of the
condition of the meat market.
There is an abundant supply of all
ported. with but little demand and
weak prices prevailing.
Only small receipts of eggs were in
evidence this morning. and prices
were the same as the past two days.
Saturday. and Monday the receipts
caused a decided decrease. and prices
probably will not change until wealth
er conditions make the roads better.
The butter market continues firm,
with no change in prices. and the
cheese market continues steady.

CHICAGO, March S.-Wheat scored
moderate advance in price today
during the early dealings, the chief
factor being unexpected strength in
the Liverpool market. Dry weather
in western Kansas and Oklahoma
tended also to aid the bull side of the
market, most traders, however. which
appeared to be taking no decided
stand, preferring to await the gov
ernment report this afternoon as to
farm reserves. The opening. which
ranged from "a to q higher, with
May 1.1Sa4 to 1.19 and July 1.146s.
was followed by a little reaction and
then by an upturn slightly higher
than before.
Corn and oats were firmer with
wheat After opening Is to $s higher.
May "a to TAI the corn market sag
ged somewhat, but soon recovered.
Oats started II to 4 up, May 45,
and later held near to the initial range.
Despite lower quotations on hogs,
the provision market averaged higher,
Influenced apparently by the action
of other commodities.
