Yellow eyes are selling in Il small way ut
50. 1874
Butter. Trade has been irregular and
'omewhat unsatisfactory, though for the
ime being the downward tendency of prices
GEMS to have been checked. Some receiv-
rs report fair amount OF sales, while 9TH
rs have had even less demand than last
week, and the market generally is in u con-
lition which makes it difficult to quote. For
ticty choice lots of New York and YER
mont 80 to 3ic can now be obtained, hut
'uyers are very hard to please, and barely
ne lot III hve hundred Is good enough TO
ommand the outside figure. Most of the
alrs range from % to 32c, and sellers find it
lIiiicut to get over SOC. There is n fair sup
,iy of Western, with sales ranging from l6
CSC, and occasional fancy lots nj zoe. Can.
tia butter is beginning to come in more
RELY. and 32c is an extreme price for the
cry hest, hut we hear N no sales over SOC,
md from that down to 25o TOR good lots.
Cheese. Market firm and the trade oper-
lie freely to supply current wants. There
Ias been little more demand Tor the best
cradles and several sales have been made ut
lie, but this is rather an exceptional price,
md we continue our quotations ut l6 to l64c
~ choice, which range covers most OF the
Ties.
Eggs. The severe weather has almost en-
rely stopped the supply of eggs, and extreme
irices have been obtained during tho week.
,alcs have been made as high rs 400, but we
mink 36c high enough TO quote for large
ITS, and day or two Of mild weather would
usc rapid decline.

1ogs is very Arm, the receipts of the week
.monnting to only l429. We quote prices
from o to Ice. City dressed ARE sellIngnt l0c.
Wool.-rhe market has been unexpectedly
more active the past week, and the sales the
argest We have had to notice for some time
past. The demand, however, has not been
general, n few houses making the bulk of
he sales, and, as usual on dull market,
some concessions have TO be made to place
round lots. This remark, however. applies
more particularly TO California woods. The
new clip of that state is now so near at hand,
estimated to exceed the clip of last year
some 5000, 900 lbs, that holders are anxious
10 close up old stocks AS fast rs possible. and
any reasonable offer Is likely to be accepted.
Il any thing combing and delaine neeces are
higher. The demand for this description
exceeds the supply and every lot offered Is
readily taken ut full prices. Man ufacturers
will find Il difficult TO obtain supplies Of
rUmbng during the next three months, I'M
less they turn their attention To supplies from
broad. There Is none OF any consequence
IN tho interior or in leading markets ON the
