Show Prices of Eggs Soar Some Higher Peaches Still to Be Had Fine California Cali-fornia Lettuce Sells at 5 Cents a Head. If eggs go much higher, tho time-honored oustom of serving ham and eggs or bacon and eggs at each breakfast will bo dispensed with, and consumers will begin to look about for a less expensive luxury than tho fruit of the once faithful faith-ful hcn Utah eggs at $7.75 a case and Eastern eggs at $7.60 wholesale! Theso were the figures named yesterday, and dealers merely looked wise when asked if a further advanco might bo expected.

Grain and Provisions. regarding anglo-Russlan aftalra and lower prices In foreign grain markota wore tho main causo of considerable selling of wheat here when trading began. Opening Open-ing quotations on both tho December and May deliveries showed losses, the former being off TVSc at $1.H'Q1 11. May was down 3-c to Wic at $1.11V41.11. Bearish sentiment, however, survived only a brief period. News from tho Southwest was extremely extreme-ly bullish, numerous reports of damage by Hessian files nnd drouth being received re-ceived from various sections of tho winter win-ter wheat belt. Some of the messages from Kansas were radical, declaring that the condition of tho growing crop Is the worot ever experienced in that region. In addition to the poor showing claimed for the new crop, the movement of wheat from tho farms continued to diminish In volume Arrivals In the Northwest today to-day were considerably less than last year, wh'lle the total primary receipts wore about 25 per cent smaller than those of the corresponding day a year ago. From the start shorts were active buyers. December steadily advanced until un-til It reached $1.13 and May reached $1.12. Sentiment In the pit then suddenly sud-denly shifted to tho bear aide. During the latter part of the session trading showed les3 animation and tho market lost almost all of the early advance. The cause of tho change in sentiment was a report of a local crop statistician, stating stat-ing that the condition of winter wheat In Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas Kan-sas Is not as bad as a year ago. Tho market closed barely steady and practically practi-cally unchanged, with December at 51.12' and May at $1.1111.12. In corn tho trading was mostly local. December closed 'ic lower nt 48tMSc. Oats wore dull. December closed unchanged un-changed at 23c. Provisions wero strong from start to finish. Buying by a big packer caused nn early advance and covorlng by shorts later In tho session lifted prices still higher. The market was helped by a small run of hogs at the yards. At the close January pork was Up 20 cents, lard was up GS7c and ribs wero 10c higher. high-er. RANGE OF THE LEADING FUTURES.
