No color was obtainable for this rumor. Sterling exchange ruled strong and the supply of bills very scarce, leading to the expectu- tion that further gold would go abroad with the first available shipping facilities.

The European visible supply showed an increase of 700,000 bushels, against 1.400,000 bushels on the same date last year. The world's supply, according to Bradstreet's, showed a net decrease of 4.394,000 bushels. Weather and crop reports have suddenly come to the front of late as the chief factors in the market. Advices from Chicago said: ““There are many conflicting reports of crop damage in the Southwest and the trade doesn’t know what to belleve, Bad reports are now coming in from Kentucky and Tennessee. St Louls s the center of ths damage report is nevertheless weak. Texas will begin vesting the last of May. with a crop of 20 000 bushels, against §.000,000 in 1902 Kans and Nebraska are now sending in good re vorts. The Chicago letter of Bolton, De Ruyter & Co. says: ‘Market opened weak on the cables and generally _favorable ihroughout the West. After the first weak- ness, however, there was very little Wheat foi sale and the market gradually rallied and late: worked active and strong. There was no ac- tivity, particularly to the cash end of trade, but exporters seemed to be buying the next crop futures moderately. The crop news seems to persist. It is getting to be rather more geneial in it scope in the middla | West and there were rather more complaints from Kansas and Oklahoma. With the mod- | erate stocks of Wheat and the cash Wheat in | this market all in the hands of one party there is .mot much selling pressure from the weight of actual supplics. There is particularly noth- ing new in foreign crop news, weather on the Continent being generally more satisfactory. California s still without rain and buying Wheat in this market. Whatever one’s view on the crop situation may be the action of this market fs unmistakably strong.’’ The San Franeisco market was firm, with an advance in futures and some changes in cash gram.

The first car of Western Poultry for the cur- rent week was on sale and cleaned up well at steady prices. Receipts of domestic were mod- erate and the demand for medium stock showed some improvement.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs. | The contract for 100,000 lbs of pasteurized Butter entered into between the Government and a local house, and swhich has been one of ! the principal causes of the recent sharp rise in | this market, is being filled by the local house in the East, hence, as far as this contract is con- cerned, the advance has been unnecessary. The { other factor was the war between sundry local houses for the possession of coveted creameries. The advance has stopped all packing and in conisequenca the flcors are already beginning to show larger stocks of Butter.

The poor prospects for Fruit this year in the ast, as well as the lighter crops indicated in lifornia. are beginning to have their e on the market. Local dealers say that tie East is wiring bids out here for supplies and would buy heavily, but coast dealers have ad- vanced their views materially and will not seil for the prices at which they would have been glad to sell two weeks ago. The growers, too, are posted as to conditions in the East, and in view of this fact nobody cares to short the market, with a_prospect of having quotations run up on him later on. The Walnut crop is not looking as well, and estimates have been reduced about 40 per cent from those made a fortright ago. No new Honey of any consequence has been received here vet.
