THE LOCAL MARKETS

WITHIN THE PAST WEEK EGOS HAVE DROPPED FIVE CENTS IN PRICE. A Farmer Made the Prediction Yes terday That by Easter Eggs Would be Selling for Eight Cents a Doz en. Most of the Eggs Now Being Sold Here Are From the Farmers. "In the past week eggs have drop ped 5 cents" said a local retailer yesterday. "Eggs are now on the market at 15 cents per dozen and I think that the bottom price Taas been reached." The Wayne County hen has been working overtime during the present mild winter and eggs at all times have been obtainable. Everybody at present can afford to eat eggs and there has been a strong demand but more eggs are being offered to the retailers by the country people than they can use. A farmer made the prediction yesterday that by Easter eggs would be selling at 8 cents a dozen. In the larger cities eggs are being offered at 10 cents per dozen but they are all packed eggs.

CHICAGO MARKETS A Flood of Bearish Statistics on Wheat, And Nearly All Traders Wanted to Sell Corn Market Was Weak. Chicago, March 9. (Special) A flood of bearish statistics caused a sharp decline at the opening of the wheat market. Almost all the trad ers were on the selling side, and there were few buyers. The weather conditions were favorable for the new crop, and Liverpool cables low er, the shipments from Argentine in excess of previous estimates and the exports from India increased. There was a break of about lc from the closing: of yesterday, but the market steadied somewhat at the end of the first half hour, on covering by shorts. May wheat opened (oc to lV8c lower, and declined to 76c, advanc ed to 76V2C and reacted to 76c, where for a time it held steady. Large Grain Receipts. The corn market was weak, partly in sympathy with wheat and also because receipts were in excess of pre vious estimates. May corn opened V((?2hC lower, sold up to 433834 43V2c, and declined to 434c. There was little trading in oats and the market was easy along with other grains. The market m provisions was bare ly steady, nothwithstanding an advance in the price of live hogs. There was very little trading, the pork market being especially dull. Chicago Grain and Provisions. (Furnished by O. G. Murray.) open close. WAeat. May 77 July 77 76y2 77V8 Corn.

While the marketing of hogs shows a decrease compared with Wednesday, the receipts were equal to tb average recently. When the market opened there were hardly enough buyers in the field to keep prices steady. Later, however, owing to some urgent shipping orders, offerings changed hands at the best price of the day, $6.40. A complete was not made, and the uast sales did not show much change compared with the opening. Sales ranged from $6.00G.40, and the hulk of the sales were at .$6.256.35. , Cattle Market Strong. The situation in the cattle market was different from yesterday, receipts being smaller, buyers were quicker in making their selections, and as a result the market was fairly active, evincing a firmer tone than was apparent yesterday. Bulls were steady and calves steady to strong. Small Sheep Receipts. Receipts of sheep and lambs were small, not enough being here to establish new prices. Lambs sold as high as $7.00 and good kinds at $6.75 with culls as low as $5.00, and culls to good kinds $3.004.50. Cattle.

HEW YORK MARKETS

LARGE BUYING ORDERS . CAUSED OPENING STOCK PRICES TO MOUNT VIGOROUSLY. After the Usnal Wavering and Realizing Incidental to a Strong Opening, the Market Moved Aggressively Upward. More Gsneral Interest Displayed. Very Little Restraint Placed on the Movement of Prices. New York, March 9. (Special.) Large buying orders caused opening prices in the stock market to mount vigorously, with wide gains in several, specialties. Strength in the London market helped the opening here. After the usual wavering and realizing incidental to a strong opening in which the Hill group, Reading and Atchinson reacted a point, the market moved aggressively upward, with buying of Union Pacific and the coal stocks a feature. More general interest was displayed in the market than for some time, the purchases comprising a large variety of stocks in which the gains were significant. Atchinson was fed out liberally on the rally and the inability of this stock to recover contributed to a slight falling off. Movement Sharply Upward. An advance of 2 in Reading was a feature. A disposition to take profits caused an irregular movement for a time, but new points of strength were developed. Atchinson continued backward and yielded more than a point. Bonds were steady. Very little restraint was placed on the movement of prices, and the fluctuations in special stocks were wide. In a general way speculation showed increasing confidence on the long side of the market, which even the persistent pressure against Atchinson did not seem to diminish. Pretty nearly every stock that had any claim to prominence was numbered in those that were quoted a point or more nbovn vstprdav's rlnsinor j Q. . NEW YORK STOCKS! (Furnished by O. G.
