When the produce call was made the members
were compelled to talk over the grades of but
er, as they appear on the record In connection
with the ever-varying and multiplying qualities
of that commodity. There are seven grades re-
corded as extras extra frsts, frsts, seconds,
thirds. packing stocks, grease butter, and prices
run from &C TO CSC, according TO quality. There
are no changes in quotations, while the supply is
abundant. Cheese Is steady. Eggs are irmer
for fresh, which are beginning to arrive in some
quantities. Lined and house stocks
very much neglected. Poultry is rat-er quiet,
with fair supply. While good turkeys and
chickens sell readily ut quotations, very little
over-supply would quickly reduce the figures.

FINANCIAL.
New York.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, March 5.-At the stock ex-
change the market opened 14(91a lower, and
sold off during the first hour still more.
Then came a sharp rally In Lackawanna and
few others. During the next hour, TINS
movement having spent its force, another
decline set in, which ended in dull session
up to the noon hour. AS whole, the mar
ket can be best described as active. nervous
and weak. especially for these stocks, viz:
New York Central, Northwestern and Lacka-
wanna. To show his power aud do what he
could to stop the downward course OF prices,
the valiant Deacon White took hold of Lack
awanna, and in very short time put 1t up
from 1OOI to 1921 without break,
but this squirt failed to influence the
rest of the list beyond q or q. New York
Central was very feeble and sold down to
SSI. During the forenoon bear talk on
this stock and Lake Shore, Northwestern
and Erie was very loud and pronounced. If
the Lake Shore had earned no dividend
neither had the Central, it was said, and it is
question now whether the Central pays any
dividend at all. Lake Shore is hampered
and fettered by constant deficiencies in
Nickel Plate earnings as well as by its own
shortages.
NORTHWESTERN IS WEAK
on the decreased earning during the month
of February, which fell off S161, 800 as COM
pared with last year. Pacific Mail was
doomed up to 5911 when inside parties be-
gan to unload and it fell off, Western Union
was well held by somebody, and so was
Louisville & Nashville, Kansas & Texas and
the Pacifcs st. Paul was also steady on
the announcement of small increase in
earnings during February, but the knowing
ones thought they saw in the statement the
features of good-sized Ethiopian who was
hiding somewhere in the fence. 1t is gen.
orally thought that lower prices are inevita-
BILE for leading stocks, if not for all
the list, although the Gould party say that
they only worked for decline Of five points,
and now that has come about and they
feel like buying again. The bears talk OF
going for Deacon White on Lackawanna and
Northwestern, but the deacon replies that he
NEEDS NONE OF THEIR SYMPATHY
and is fully able to take care of him self and
his holdings. There is little doubt but that
the inside condition of many roads is much
worse than is really known outside and when
the facts come to light, as they surely will
sooner or later, the stock Of such road will
seek and find it's own natural level, wherever
that may be.

tive in their request for No. l hard. The first
bid was at about lc in advance, but before any
trading prices were crowded up fraction
higher. Millers and spectators were buyers of
the upper grades and shippers of the lower and
poorer qualities. The cause of it was the better
tone that has prevailed for few days with ad-
vices of an advance at all other places. Corn
was still weak with sales ut 1914 @3fc and con-
siderable offered. The oats market remained
firm with good local request reported. For
