tbat dealers have had hard workto handle it.
especially Us the weather has been very MID
indeed, and prices are, therefore, slightly re-
duced. The grain market has been a little
necuIiar Wheat began the week at 90c, and
the next day ran up to 901ac, where 1t re-
NAMED a day or so and dropped OH TO 90c. LII
then fell back to sec, and yesterday fell TO
$780, Corn and oats went through JUST tne
same kind of experience. There are no re-
ceipts of any consequence from street deliver
les. and the mills have been compelled to
rely upon the elevators almost entlreiy TOT
their supplies. Rye most OF the week mas
been steady. Barley has been IN less demand;
Live and dressed hogs have been quoted al
the week, but have not, as yet, been I'D much
demand. Butter has not undergone mucn
change. The demand is of very lmlteu
character except for the best creameres,
and these are in very active demand at from
20 TO 2Sc. Diaries are steady, and are meet
ing with fair demand, if fresh-made.
care should be taken in packing and snip
ping; country shippers and dealers are in the
practice of sending roll butter to this market
In every conceivable package. including bar
rels, pine boxes etc. The above named pack
ages should be entirely avoided, as pine will
nave tendency to affect and flavor the but
ter, while barrels are TOO large and not easily
handled, besides the weight brushes the roll.
New tubs or hardwood boxes are the most de-
sirable, while half barrels or kegs will do
equally as we'll and these only should be used
Care should also be taken before putting the
butter in packages that all the sides and ends
of the package be lined with new white mus
lin, thus keeping the butter from DETACHMENT
by touching the wood. Another bad practice
is in putting the butter up in paper; this
should not be done, as the paper sti cks to the
butter and damages the appearance. Each
roll should be separately placed in piece of
new muslin cloth washed in warm water to
take out the starch, and thoroughly wet in
good brine. The rolls should also be of mod
crate size and not too large. Then again, the
rolls should be of uniform color, not packing
the light and freSh-made with other that has
been colored.
