St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1884-03-12

shipments to outside points to those of last
week; prices both of feed and hay have been
firm the plan of shipping only to I'LL orders being
generally followed by holders both of feed
and hay. The demand for prime
dairy butter, roll and print has been good with
| very light receipts. Mediums continue to come
in plentifully but they come in such poor shape
that they do not sell except shipping stock for
which there is good demand at 6@8c. In con-
nection with this matter it cannot be urged upon
farmers too persistently that it pays to take
a little care in making butter as it does in clean
ing wheat There seems to be quite plentiful
supply of beans again, but prices remain firm and
steady. The receipts of eggs are becoming more
liberal, but they hardly sufficient to fill orders
and sellers hold for an advance. There are some
shipments frem down the river, but dealers
prefer Minnesota eggs not only because of their
better condition but also for their greater size.
Poultry is becoming scarce as the laying season
advances and but very few lots come to hand.
Prices are high and firm; carefully dressed tur-
keys command zoe and good chicken, dry picked,
bring TIC. The scarcity of dressed meats for the
week past has led to shade advance in prices.
The market at the present writing is somewhat
easier, but prices remain steady. The fruit
trade has been a little more active. Choice
apples are becoming very scarce and holders are
making good prices. Oranges are a shade
dearer and the demand more active
lemons are quiet; other fruits are scarce and
held at fancy prices, First strawberries appeared
in the market during the week. Hides are very
dull, the receipts being small, prices are firm.
