Trade in butter during the past week was
again only moderate and transactions were
confined manly to the local trade. The arri-
walls during the week were rather meager, par
ticularly of choice, of which the supply at the
present time is very light. The advices re-
able and the demand on shipping &C
count consequently was limited. For
the better qualities of butter the demand
continues good, and prices ruled firm, but me-
dunn grades were but little called for, and for
these it was found difficult to make sales.
There was no change of Importance in prices
Beans under hight demand ruled dull and
very quiet Prices were unchanged and quota
tons were at $1.75@1.80 per brl for good to
prime Eastern mediums, and $1.0001.75 for
Western, according to quality. There was
nothing of consequence done in beeswax; quot
able at 26028c 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 a
weak feeling developed, though no particular
alteration was exhibited in values. We quote

be worked into choice hurl broom 1013@11c,

sons, in sixteen-quart cases. $3.00@325 for
Lawtons, and $1.00M1.06 for Wild according

1.75 for marrowfat. The supply of eggs
was ample, but there being so many
lots in bad order, buyers were rather re-
luctant about purchasing. The market closed

live geese feathers were ashade frmer, but the
other kinds remain unchanged; quotable at

turkey tail, and 3c(15c for chiken The re-
ceipts of all kinds of green fruits were more
than sufficient to supply the demand, and the
market ruled dull. A good many consignment5

good many instances had to be thrown away
