The reports of the situation between Eng
land and Russia, and the well authenticated
fact that the winter wheat crop has been
very seriously damaged have had a tendency
to gradually improve the wheat market, so
that now it is stronger and tirmer than it was
a week ago, with general appearance or
still further advancing. The mills have been
paying at this point for farmers deliveries
from 78c to $50, and the receipts have been
pretty fair. On Saturday they were 1890 bu
Receipts by rail have been very limited. the
elevators having taken i'll only 13, 913 bu and
shipped out SO, $50 bu. No oats or corn were
received during the week by the eleva-
tors. The movement Of wheat has
been very limited, but the demand
has been light, while the mills have been well
supplied, principally from the stud. Prices
at country points are unchanged There has
been uniformly good trade i'll -four and the
shipments have been about the same as last
week. The mills are very firm in their prices
according to the latest advance. In the early
part Of the week there was a good demand,
and owing to the scarcity quotations became
somewhat stronger. The receipt Of oats has
been limited to absolutely nothing during the
week, but Notwithstanding this fact prices
have not advanced to any extent, the demand
not being urgent and buyers knowing where
they could get all they might want to arrive
Barley has been steady and in light demand
Hay has fiuctuated q good deal. Most
Of the time it has been in good
demand and stiff in price, but yesterday it
was good deal lower. Butter is easier in
price. The local demand is fair but retailers
are about the only buyers, and they decline to
even look at any stock in the least below
strictly choice fresh. Receipts of dairy are
still running poor, hence the supply of choice
is rather light, while creamery is plentiful
Some of the offerings showed grass flavor
but apart of this had O watery appearance
[1,<,fn
creamery sells at 22025c the latter for fancy,
seconds at less; dairy, choice at 10000 and
selections at 21c, fair to prime 15@lTc, low to
medium S@13c; country store packed ranges
from &c for low to 121a@15c for choice we'll
handled; ladle packed, 10@15c; grease butter
4c. New cheese are coming in quite freely and
prices are consequently easier. The demands
only moderate and accommodations in stock
are reported. Old cheese are quiet and slow
for the demand is usually for new. Low
grades of all kinds remain low and stagnant.
The cheese mainly in demand is full cream,
mild and of good flavor. These are the quail
ties necessary, whether old or new. There
are no export orders and there seems to be no
demand from any source for common grades
Eggs continue to be in better supply, and we
will soon have an abundance. Quotations are
gradually coming down and have now reached
10000. Poultry is practically out of the
market.
