ancy ought to be prominentfy noted.
Mr.-Adams failed TO state a very important
'act bearing directly on The subject he dis
cussed. 1t is this, that thousands and tens OF
thousands of people have been made to pur-
chase the hog product at any price. Out Of
employment and ont of money, those Peep e
who in pros porous times are large consumers
have not been during the past year consu-
mers at all, and this fact sccounts for theother
fact tina. while the number of hogs slaugL-
tered in 1906 is greatly below the number In
1s74-5, the stocks OF meat, by vir.u ne of the in
ability of WORK men to purchase, are now re-
latively higher Than st a corresponding period
in 1875.
POULTRY AND EGGS.
There has been sharp advance in
eggs during the week, and they have
advanced to 1lc per doz and are
scarce. Poultry is in better demand buyers
are paying sn advance on last week'sfquota-
tons. The New York market on Saturday
was reported as follows: -

Is again rather slack ano the advantage fayors1
the buyer, though without any further red ncs
ton on figures. The supplies are not very
large, but the warmer weather tor day or
two past has induced dealers and retailers to
buy more closely TO actual wants, and Ieceiv-
err find ii difficult to move stock except at a
comparatively easy bass. About &c is all that
can really be depended upon for western to-
day. though a few fancy selections In a small

WOOL.
The market is ruling firm with light receipts
and light holders in the country have re-
fuss d to send forward their stocks, waiting for
an advance, and in this they have acted
wisely Tor an advance has been established.
The New York Commercial Bulletin of Satur
day says:
In some quarters there appears to be a ten
dency- to keep on "bu,ling" the market, and
we occasionally fed reports of the most rose
ate and buoyant nature. The general trade
howeveF, are not inclined TO be led away by
any undue excitement, and TO think twice
before operating is the rule. No one
denies they strength of the market as
shown on the pr sent outlook. and all really
desirable woods are believed to be a good in
vestment IL consumption con tin ues and no
additional supplies come upon sale, but since
cost has worked up il is deemed juo icious to
figure very closely before closing negotiations.
Manufacturers too are fairly stocked with
wool, and scarcely find an i'm orovement on
goods TO CORES pond with the cost OF material,
and this also has tendency to keep the VOL
ume of business down somewhat. Taken as 8

two or three seasons, the genera market Ior
