MARKETS.
BUTTER.

BUTTER. Gf 8ees !
The demand continues to run on fresh |
made western grades, and after passing |
these there is slow trade. Popular
brands of fresh creamery command 80 to |
33 cents per pound, in round lots, and 33
to 36 cents in a jobbing way. Last week
the supply of this kind was very light, |
and dealers could not meet the wants of
their customers. Ii there are not larger
receipts from the west this week, prices |
may further advance. Choice fall cream
cry lis not easy to sell at over 28 TO 20
cents per pound, and summer creamery
cannot be moved in round lots at over "a
to % cents. Very little dairy butter is
worth over % cents, and summer stock is
still hard to move at any reasonable price.
Between the hest old creamery stock and
fresh made there is a difference of to
| cents per pound, and between good old
dairy and fresh made creamery the differ
ence is 10 to 10 cents a pound.
CHEESE.
'"Quiet and firm expresses the condi-
| ton Of the cheese market as well as if
| column were written. Fine fall factory
is selling moderately at Is cents, ane good
to choice stock at IL to l21a cents. The
supply is moderate and holders are not
anxious to force business.
| EGGS.
No article in the produce market is
watched more closely than eggs just at
this time. A change of three to five cents
a dozen either way is likely to take place
in a few days. For the past week fresh
laid southern have been arriving and the
tendency has been slightly downward,
but enough have not yet come along to
cause any material decline. Sales con-
tinue to be made at % to 30 cents per
dozen in wholesale lots. If the weather
should be mild for another week supplies
would increase and prices would probably
be lower. But a cold snap would work
just the other way. Last year at this
time prices ruled at 80 to 80 cents, and at
the end of the month jumped up to AZ and
over In few days afterward they drop
ped to cents, then stiffened up again,
and finally, at the close of February, set
tied down to "a cents
THE BEAN TRADE.
There has been satisfactory move
nent in beans, and prices are steady.
Receipts have increased a little, but there
are no accumulations to speak of. New
York small pea command S165 to S1.70
and large SLIGO to S1.65 per bushel in
round lots.
THE APPLE TRADE.
There is not much change in the apple
market from last week. The supply is
still ample for the demand and as dealers
are well stocked they are not willing to
pay any advance. Sales of No. Baldwins
have been made at $1.75 to Sl.S5 per bar
rel, and this is the highest range that can
be depended upon, for receipts have been
very small for few weeks past and will
soon stop.
POTATOES.
There appears to be no chance for an
advance in prices of potatoes. Supplies
in Maine are held back, but plenty are
|, coming from New York State, and receiv-
ers have all that they can dispose of. The
southern demand for seeds is junt begin
ming, and it may lead to Il stronger mark
ct in few weeks, but we see no indica-
tions of such change at present. II
anything the tendency is the other way.
! Only the best rose and Hebrons command
So cents per bushel. Most of the New
York stock rules at so to 50 cents.
THE HOP SITUATION.
After a long period of inaction the hop
market has taken Il start. 1t seems that
: the supply of strictly choice grades is not
as large as was expected, and dealers and
, brewers are getting anxious. Sales in
New York have been made at an advance
of cents pound from the lowest point
and lots here are held at least two cents
higher than a few weeks ago. The demand
1 is mainly for the best New York State
t hops, which now command Is to 10 cents
and held at 20 cents. Eastern are not Sc
desirable and cannot be placed at over Ii
? cents in round lots, though there are no
many offering at that price. Californi;
