CHICAGO, May 11.—A firm tone was mani- festzd in wheat at the opening, decreased ship- ments {rom Australia and reports of drouth in the Danublan territory being largely re- sponsible for the improved sentiment. Initial sales on July were lyc lower to lic higher at §3%@Sic. Shorts were fairly active bidders at the start, but offerings were rather limited and on thai account a moderate advance in prices was made. July sold up to S4lic. The weather was cool in the West, with light frosts at many points and this had consider- able to do with the early firmness. A number of searish reports were received from the | Southwest later in the day, causing quite gen- eral selling, under the inflience of which July deciined to S$3%@S3%c. A rally followed on covering by shorts, who were some what disturbed over predictions of a liberal decrease in the visible supply. The market closed with an inclination to firmness, final quotations on July being at 83%@S374c. The early corn market was strong on an active commission house demand, the large cash business of yesterday, together with small local receipts being the chief incentives to buying. The market closed weak, with July ¢ lower at 47%@47%c. An easier feeling in oats late in the session was due almost entirely to weakness in corn. July oats closed jjc lower at 38,@3S%c. Provisions were steady all day. July pork closed a shade higher; lard bc higher and ribs were 2ic up. The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles— ~ Open. High. Low. Close.

Receipts of domestic Poultry were only 15 coops and young stock cleaned up readily at previous prices. The market was practically bare at the close, as undemradle stock, such as old Roosters and Hens, which' had been ac- cumulating for some days, was cleaned up at low figures. A car of Western is scheduled for Monday's market. Game could not be quoted. as very little came in and most of it was in bad condition.

GAME—Nomin: Butter, Cheese and Eggs. The different markets are tame and unin- | teresting at the moment. Recelpts of Butter are excessive, as will be seen, while the sheives continue loaded with Chcese. There are more than encugh Eggs coming in to sat- isty’ the demand and the surplus is being put into store. All markets are weak all_quotations remain unchanged. Recelpts were 117,300 Ibs Butter, 1404 cases Eggs and 15,100 Ibs Chees: BUTTER—Creamery at first hands, 18@18%c for extras and 17@17)%c for firsts; dalry, 15@ 7 store Butter, 13@14c; cold storage, nom- for gocd to choice mnew | for lower grades; Young Americas, Eastern, 15@lc; Western, 14@1d¢ per_1b. i EGGE—Ranch, 18@20c for fair to CMICE:E store, 16@18c; Eastern, 15@lyc per dozen. Deciduous and Citrus Fruits. Trade in the fruit market was quite active, as local retailers were stocking up for the Sun- day trade and a good demand was noted for shipment to Puget Sound poris on the steamer which_leaves to-day. eceipts of Cherries were 580 boxes and included several consign- | ments of small white fruit, which could not be sold even at the minimum quotation. The top quotation was an extreme for one favored | brand, $1 being about the top for the general market. Apricots were firmer, although re- celpts continued liberal, Receipts of Straw- berries were over 1100 chests and the large varleties, which constituted the bulk of the re- ceipts, were quoted lower. Surplus lots were cleaned up at the minimum quo! ruling prices were $3@+4 per chest. A wagon loaded with Longworths from Palo Alto met with an accident near the ratlroad yards and was overturned. There were about 35 chests on the wagon and they were scattered about, and what were saved had to be sold below the quotations. The accident netted the con- signees a loss of about $200. Raspberries from i i less than | | | i fon, but the | the south sold at 20@25c, and Dewberrles at 10c per small basket. = Strawberrles Florin were offering freely at 50c per crate, but moved slowly, owing to the abundance and low prices of superior quality offerings from other sections. Gooseberries appeared from the river and sold at 15@25c per pound. Oranges ruled firm, with all dealers reporting a good demand for all grades. A half crate of red Currants came in from San Leandro and sold for §1. STRAWBERRIES—$5@7 per chest for Long- worths and $2 50@4 for the larger varietles. CHERRIES—75c@$1 40 per drawer.
