Prices, however., were quoted at a range of a cent. i'here la a speculative element in the mar ket anxious to get the price down for storage purposes and another trying to keep the price up to prevent storing. The result waa that 10 '4 -cent and 17 H -cent quotations were given out on tho street yesterday. Poultry receipts were small and last ft'eek's quotations were maintained. The probability of a general decline In butter quotations on May 1 is being dis cussed by the creamery trade.- Supplies clean up fairly weM at the moment, but production Is Increasing so fast that It la believed a 32 H -cent market should be es tablished on the firs of the month. The cheese market is also weakening and ealea at 14 4 cents are reported. Active Demand for Freeh Produce-. For a Monday, trading waa very brisk In the fruit and vegetable line.

UNION PACIFIC IS STRONG Good Kffect Produced by the Suc cess of the Pennsylvania Bond Sale Hallway Traffic Offi cials More Confident. NEW TOKK. April 27 Th. action r the topic market today wa confirmatory of the larito nrofeiMnonal operations lat week, based on the prospective sticees, of the Pennsylvania bond subscription. The sub scription lists, both, here and In Iondon. were closed almost as soon as opened, hut details of the bids will not be obtainable for several day,. However, the success of the loan 1, emphatic and brilliant and no ground for disappointment was left with anyone who had been prooeedlna; on the as sumption of the success. The speculative tone In stocks, neverthe less, was more or less unsettled and irregu lar. The efforts to extend the rise in prices centered In Union Pacific. Inferences of the principal benertt to accrue from the Pennsylvania success were made to apply to Union Pacific. Its forthcoming: bond Is sue was held to be largely assured of a similar success, and hpes were professed of a like heavy participation In Its case by foreign Investors. Confidence was main tained that the money market conditions were to remain propitious for new security offerings. The gold export movement also was re newed and conditions abroad shaped them selves in s war to promise a continuance of this movement. Discounts hardened In London and lurls and sterling exchange rose at the latter point. ' United States Steel was conspicuously heavy. It was hurt by reports of a break In the ranks of sellers .of iron who have been striving to sustain prices. The price of copper also was reduced both here and in London. Railroad traffic officials gave expression to hopeful views on account of the good cr.p prospects. Union Pacific, St. Paul, Atchison and Pennsylvania were carried to new high levels for the year, but the movement in the general list was less effective. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, $4,44SA.0OO. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOS1NO STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. liiJ.
