PRODUCE.
Trade in butter during the past week was
again only moderate and transactions were
confined mainly to the local trade. The arri-
walls during tho week were rather 'meager, par
ticularly of choice, of which the supply at the
present time is very light. The advices re-
ceived from the East continue unfayor-
able and the demand on shipping ac-
the better qualities of butter the demand
continues good, and prices ruled firm, but me-
dunn grades we're but little called for, and for
these it was found difficult to make sales.
There was NJ chage of Importance i'll prices.
Beans under a light demand ruled dull and
very quiet. Prices were unchanged and quota
tons range at 81. 75@1.SO per brl for good to
prime Eastern mediums, and 51.00@1.75 for
Western, according to quality. There was
nothing of consequence done in beeswax-quo-
table at 26@28c for prime yellow. The reports
received from the country in regard to broom
corn were more encouraging, and holders were
more disposed to realize. There was rather q
weak feeling developed, though no particular
alteration was exhibited in values. We quote

fair demand when in prime order, but there
we're some received that were common

sale for dried peas and prices were nominal

were received in poor order, and these in q
good many instances had to be thrown away.
