The produce market has been very duh all
the week, and prices have been weak and
dropping. Wheat at Chicago, st. Paul, Min
neapolis and Duluth has been gradually weak
ening all the week, with here and there a
slight advance. The result has been that no
one manifested any desire to deal in that
grain. The street receipts at this point have
been very light indeed, hardly enough to be
worth mentioning and, the mills have, there
fore, been compelled TO rely on the elevators
for supplies During the week the elevators
shipped A, 305 bushels, which is less than half
as much as was shipped the week before, and
received 1872 bushels of wheat in the eleva-
tors. During the same period 1,S22 bushels
of oats and 1900 1bushels of barley were
shipped. Corn has been in very light de-
mand and has been dropping all the week.
Oats have strengthed up occasionally little,
but the general tendency was the same as
that of corn. Ground feed and corn meal
have both gone the same way. The hay
market has not been as strong as some ex-
pected il would be, and buyers are taking
hold very sparingly. All seem disposed to
pick their way along as best they can In view
of the new crop. The result has been that
hay is very dull and in very light demand.
Butter has not changed except for the worse.
There is really but little doing in it and the
market is very dull. The receipts of choice
and fine makes of creamery are not large
and there is sufficient demand from various
sources to keep the market from being over
stocked with such. For really de-
sirable makes 15G16c per pound
can be obtained, though it re-
quireS very fine makes to bring the outside
figure, and efforts to overreach this price
have not been successful The feeling dur
ing the week has been pretty steady and
buyers have not Disseminated so closely as
last week, and makes which would hardly
pass at outside figures last week sold more
easily this week. Diaries met with a little
more inquiry, that is straight lines in uni |
form sized packages. The trouble with |
dairies is they are running too poor and gen. |
orally come in a lot of miscellaneous sized |
tubs and packages, which makes them ob- |
jectionable for shippers to handle. Stocks |
of cheese are only moderate. There is a linn |
tied home demand for full cream, fat and /
Young America cheese. Cheddars are also |
in fair demand. Dealers ask previous prices |
and the market is about steady, but buyers |
in prices is hardly probable, as any,
thing of that kind would drive |
buyers from market. The demand |
is only for fine qualities. SKINNED cheese |
are very dull and almost without demand. |
Eggs during the first part of the week were |
in limited supply and prices were fair, but |
during the last few days they have been more |
abundant and the prices have weakened. |
The stock of old potatoes Is very small and |
the demand is also very light. New are |
quoted at 60c. The supply of apples is |
only moderate. but sufficient for all require |
ments. Berries of a seaSonable character are |
in good supply. Strawberries have been OF a |
very excellent quality and of varying price, |
to supply and demand. The mar
ket is now supplied with a great variety of /
California fruit, including oranges, lemons,
pears, plums, apr1cots and peaches, all or
which are of a very superior guilty.
