MARKETS
BURLINGTON, 8 p. n, Friday, June 10.


The weather during the week has been faver-
able for vegetation. Yesterday was quite warm.
and . shower would be very acceptable.
The river continues to go down. and naviga-
ton is getting to be difficult. The lumbermen
are having hard time to get their RATS along.
Stocks in the lumber yards all the way from st.
Paul to st. Louis are lighter than they have been
known for years, and prices will doubtless very
considerably, advance. for the season is 50 far
advanced that it seems hardly possible for .
rise In the river toilet out the usual sup
ply.
The receipts Of grain at this point are increas-
ing, and prices very arm and higher on most
articles that producers have to sell. Corn is ac-
tive at from IS TO 9oc; Oats in demand at g. to
Csc: Rye is . tribe lower than last week. The
demand in Chicago seems to have fallen off,
Wheat j competed for by millers and shippers
at II Us to 81 Is for spring. and 81 % to 81 80 for
winter. The reports with reference to the grow
ing wheat crop continue favorable for spring,
and the yield OF winter will be good where itdid
not freeze out.
LIVE STOcK.-Cattle In Chicago Yesterday de-
c]ined fully 50 cents per cwt. from the day pre-
vioUs, notwithstanding light receipts. The
highest sale was q lot OF steers averaging 1,25O
lbs at s. 81. The bulk of sales for good ranging
from So % to IS IS; common grades as low as 81 II
to 81 50. Hogs were in more active demand,
with sales at from S. IS to g co. mainly a. 81 90
to s. 80. New YORK market is quoted about 1c
lower on all grades.
At Davenport they have Board OF Trade"
that has been trying the somewhat novel exper-
iment of regulating. in an official way. the
prices Of grain. &C., offered In that market. A
gentleman that formerly resided here. writes Of
it as follows: I'VE are having large receipts Of
nv1xv %~xl
by Committee Trade each morning by mem
bers Of the Board OF Trade. The farmers held
meeting on Friday to devise means to protect
themselves against the large profits claimed by
the dealers, resulting In the appointing of
Committee of three to meet with the Board OF
Trade Committee each morning for two weeks
and then report to an adjourned meeting the
margin on which the dealers had operated. It
is . new feature for Board Of Trade to regulate
the prices of the products Of the country, and
we don't look for q very long run under the ar
rangement, - we have q number here of the
same stripe Of certain dealers in your city. that
never tell the truth when lie will answer.
We regard all such attempts by Commercial
Associations to regulate prices to be humbugs of
the first water. Supply and demand usually
regulates prices much better than resolutions Of
organized bodies of either buyers or sellers.
Gold has advanced about 5 per cent. since our
last. and was quoted in New York yesterday ct
SI96.
