Barley ............" ...
Flax ... -. $500
The railroad export shows IS cars received and
1919 shipped There has been scarcely any bust
ness done in corn, five cars only of old Nebraska
have been received at this mrket and few cars
of new mixed. The elevator receipts and ship
ments of oats have very light showing There
previous week. OF these 4 went
to the elevators and II direct
to the consumer. Receipts Of barley
were IL cars all going to the consumers there
has been and still continues to be good de-
mand for No. 3 extra and No. barley. The
flour trade has been steady with good demand ;
prices are a little weak, but miers say that
quotations have all aloug been too low for the
price of wheat, and the present fall has given them
little relief The mills, however, have bought very
little wheat the past week either on the track or
from wagon. Prices have been SOC for No. and
CSC for No. /. Wagon delivery has not exceeded
1000 bushels. Even if low prices did not deter
them, favorable weather for farm work would
prevent very lage delivery and little can now be
expected from this source for a month or two.
Feed has been quiet, selling principally ''to ar
rve," little being shipped on speculation. The
sales were three cars less than the previous week
There was great falling off in hay sales, the
total amount being but little over half of the
quantity sold during the week ending April 2.
Prices have ranged from S7.25 to $3.50 for wild
and $40. 90 for timothy. The butter market has
been about the same as reported week ago.
The demand for choice grades and sweet, we'll
put up roll and print has increased with very
limited supply. Large quantities of badly handled
stuff continues to arrive and 1T
seems remarkable thing that farmers are not
more particular and careful with this paying pro-
duce which might easily be made his best source
of profit. Carefully picked and choice beans
are in better demand; dirty, common lots are a
drug This is another product which pays for
care and attention. Beans to come to market
in proper shape should be housed and
not stacked. If exposed to the weather
they get discolored. Bacon and hams are very
unsettled and mess pork demoralized; the latter
may be quoted at S17@t7.50; dried beef is a lit
tie easier and receipts more liberal. Cheese is
higher for prime creams but old stocks are slow.
Hops and brewers materials are steady, with malt
frmer. Linseed oil has advanced q shade; lin
seed cake and meal are firm Poultry is nomi-
nal. Fruits are frmer; apples have advanced
considerably and are very scarce. Oranges are
dearer and in good demand; lemons are firm,
with the demand increasing Pears are very
scarce, and what few are in the market fetch
fancy prices. Cranberries ar nominal. Bananas
are in good demand, with liberal supply; prices
are slightly easier. Following are prices eur
