avenues of ancient trees and sloping banks

river, where the white winged ships go up
the seething waters, resounds with the blows
of axe and hammer. The busy hum OF pre-

auctuated considerably of late, falling of in
the export demand some days ago, owing to Il
decline i'm prices in London, causing "a decline
vance and renewed activity, based on cable
reports OF further rise in Great Britain
Nevertheless prices for the refined product are
not so high here as week ago, and the home
trade is now but mCderate.
Taken as n whole. however, the sugar mar
kct Is in n firm position, and Ii Il n matter OF
some anxiety rs to when the present season of
extra linary high prices VIII end.
In provisions the week closes with a weak
and declining market. For several days buy
ers and sellers have been apart, and rs a con-
sequence transactions have been light. The
packing houses are all engaged, and SO far the
slaughter Is considerably in excess of the cor
responding dates in lS75, Hogs are coming
forward promptly, and it is pretty evident that
lower prices viii prevail. as packers will
hardly consent To take extra hazardous risks.
In grain a moderate business has been re-
ported and prices during the week have un-
dcrgonc no essential change. Transportation
facilities have improved somewhat, but the
new crop is hardly in condition for ship
ment. Oats are quiet and in large supply.
Rye is steady, and wheat is ruling firm at
prices that have prevailed for several weeks
Ia the produce markets we note good de-
mand for eggs and poultry in the liberal re-
ceipts.
The New York market at latest dates was
reported as follows:
EEiggs-Receipts to-day 5l0 bbls. Most dealers
arc still in a steady confident mood as regards
fine fresh stock. The supply has been mOder-
ate, and there appears no indication of an
early Increase, and while the demand GER
taiDly lacks decided animation, buyers afford
an outlet for most of the Offering. LINED con-
tinue very dull and very uucert ain value,

many holders are anxious TO work OFF their

STORING EeGs.-The Matching season being
over, eggs may now be packed away for win-
ter u.s.. No difficulty will be found in
keeping them three or four months, if
taken when perfectly fresh and carefully
packed in salt. For this purpose stone
jar, holding from four to six gallons, will DC
found the most convenient Use very dry
salt. Cover the bottom of jar with salt
to the depth of half an inch, then set the
eggs with small end down in the salt; cover
them over with salt and proceed in the same
manner until the jar is filled; theI
set it away in dry place. Unless the sal
is dry when used and is kept dry afterward
it will get solid and it will be diificalt TO &c
the eggs out. BY following the above direC
tons you may have fresh eggs in mid-wiI
ter, when they are scarce and high. The e
pense is trifling, as the salt may be u.s.
again after the eggs are taken out Be car
ful to put in only fresh eggs. A stale <
will not get any better by being packedl

many OF them are, no doubt, good, but | a

fair trial. Try it and you will find it'll
