Tha market has hardly opened yet. so fur as
tha local trade ! concerned, but soma small
clips are fladrng their way Into tha hands
ef country merchants.
Thers Is also a firmer feeling In' the mo
kalr market, though prices are no higher.
demand Is stronger and mora general
thaa It has. been, particularly cm the part of
dealers with Eastarn connections. There la
Jtttle coubt tha liberal buying for the new
local mm has forced the Eastern trade to
a-t-ys more attention to tha mohair of this
Mats. It Is also e-rMent that the Ore con
nsis nava reallied better prices than If
thay had to depend solely on the demand
from tha mills la the East.
In past years tha Eastern mohair markets
hay been singularly dull and weak during
tha shearing season and h.-a only stiffened
tip after tha big buyers had secured control

sr-rl one dealer advanced his price to 25
rents In the afternoon. The day'a re
ceipts cleaned up well. The city demand waa
ejood and anme egpa were put away. There
have been no lance orders received for

of the ahlpplng buslnesa ha had no effect
on thla market, prices advancing steadily
all the time. Should Seattle again become
a buyer here. It can only hava a further
stiffening Influence on prices. It la asserted,
however, that tha Coast markets hava now
reached the point where fresh Eastern egga
can be laid down at a pries that shows a
profit, and If this Is the case, it will hava
a tendency" "to check any advance here.

CHICAGO. April 28. Popular sentiment In
the wheat pit favored the bulls today and
a strong tone prevailed the greater part of
the day. One setback was experienced late
in the session, but the reaction waa of short
duration and was occasioned mainly by real
izing by local and outside longs.
The principal factor in the situation cqjas
the Improved demand for flour and cash
Vheat. It was reported that the demand
for winter wheat flour here was display
ing more life, and a dispatch from Minne
apolis stated that sales or flour there lata
yesterday were the largest for soma time.
At the same time, the cash grain was said
to be in active demand by millers at all the
leading grain centers In this country. In
fluences that contributed to tha upward
trend of prices were an advance of IVic to
lsc In tha price of wheat at Liverpool and
continued oold weather In the Northwest,
which is said to be delaying seeding opera
tions The market opened strong with prices up
c to lc, with July at $1.09 to $1.09
and,Mry t $1.22 to $1.22-4. July was In
good demand from the start and Bteadily
advanced until It touched $1.10 14 1.10
May waa more erratic, but advanced with
July to $1.23. Late in the day prices weak
ened for a time on selling of the September
?? o-, ?eoember deliveries. May dropping to
$1.21. The market rallied again, how
aver, and closed firm with May at $1.22 and
July at $1.00. which is one cent higher
roa each, compared with the previous close.
