WHOLESALE MARKET.

WHOLESALE MARKET.
Decreased receipts Of eggs, partly
due to the fact that hens are setting,
sent the price up l cent a dozen this
morning. Eggs are in demand by
packers, it is stated, and the prices
at which they are being put in stor-
age probably will mean higher prices
next winter than heretofore.
Cold weather is reflected in the veg
etaple market. Vegetables from near
by places are not as plentiful as they
should be, dealers say, but probably
VIII be plentiful in the next two or
three weeks.
The butter market remains firm.
and there is plentiful supply of fine
quality meat on the market. Coarse
grades Of meat are scarce and in de-
mand at advanced prices.

TODAY'S CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. April 10.-Largely as
result of profit-taking sales wheat
took a downward swing in price to-
day during the early dealings. The
selling was given impetus by asser-
tions that after five days advance
something of a setback was to be
expected. 1t was also contended that
i the government figures on winter
wheat conditions were probably the
! lowest that would be reported this
| season. The opening, which varied
! from g decline to Is advance, with
/ May. 1.2312 TO 1.23& and July 12O12 to
| 1.205s, was followed by a decided gen.
eral drop and then a moderate rally.
Corn and oats receded with wheat.
After opening unchanged to % lower,
| May, 7SA to 7SR, the corn market
underwent a decline all around, with
| free selling on the part of scattered
| longs.
Oats started unchanged to 1saA
off. May, 46a46h. Later all deliveries
showed some loss.
Higher quotations on hogs were
reflected by rise in the provision
market.
