on the prsries OF Arkansas, which for
color, sweetness, and general quality Is
eXcelled by no butter shipped to this
place, and il has the advantage OF
freshness. Ii sells rapidly and brings
the highest price, 2Sc. Most Of the old
Stockton hand have been worked of. The
New York Grocer reports: "For yellow
new butter, both eastern and western,
the market has ruled firm for the week,
but western lots not up in quality with
State, are more difficult 10 sell. Al
together there are no material sccumu-
latiOns OF any sorts Of old or new. The

Chicago Tribune: "The recent increase
IN the volume Of grain shipped from this
city is altogether due 10 3 decline in
freIghts, there being no material i'm
provement in the tone Of the markets on
the other side of the Atlantic. The feel
ing there is represented TO be as blue as
ever, Several seI ere losses have ensued
to holders of grain there, and operators
seem afraid 10 touch it except merely to
pass il along. They do not want to hold
any stocks even for day, and the de-
mand is, therefore, OF the hsnd-tO-
mouth character, which makes The
available supply seem much largeT than
il Is, by keeping much greater proper
ton Of il than usual in or near the hands
of the producers. Yet, with all their
caution, the importers Of grain are losing.
News was received here yesterday OF the
failure Of large grain importing house
in Scotland, and that fact had some
thing to do with the weakness exhibited
in wheat and corn. The news OF fige
crop prospects in Europe tends to weaken
prices there, and the downward ten
dency is helped by the news Of greater
shipments from the United States, as
former low prices were based upon the
assumed fact that but little was wanted
there. This feature OF the market in
creases the difficulty OF moving out our
large stocks, and makes the future Of
the shipping business still more OF an
enigma"
