What would you do in this situation?

Firm A in Market X, which you really, really want, gives you a callback and asks where else you have callbacks.
Problem is, all of your other callbacks right now are in Market Y, but you have applied to firms in Market X and haven't heard back yet. You tell the firm you really want to work in Market X, which is completely true, but don't mention that you are also applying to Market Y.
If Firm A asks about other callbacks, should I bother mentioning callbacks in Market Y if the firms in Y are similarly ranked or higher ranked vault firms even though they are in Market Y? I really would prefer to work in Market X, but Market Y has been more responsive so far. I don't want to sound like I would prefer to work in Market Y, simply because I have more callbacks there.
