EGGS-A feature of the week was the arrival
OF ac0nsignment from Canada, selling at about
the same figures as Eastern. Now that the holt
days have passed, the demand is less pressing,
and slight Accommodations of stock have already
given weaker tone to the market, with the
probabilities of further decline in the near
future. We quote prices California, 35@S715c

HIDES AND SKINS-The circular of Sum
ner q Co., says: Large stocks of Dry Hides
II.
California Dry Hides are selling in New York at
very low figures, sound Hides at l61S61I7c and
Culls at two thirds price, on time. There does
not seem to be much announcement for better
values for several months. Sailed Hides show
downward tendency. Hides come in freely
causing large stocks OH hand in this city. Heavy
Steers for sole and harness are in demand. Me
dunn steers sell fairly well, but Medium Cows
and Light Hides are quiet Kip, Veal and Calf
are exceedingly dull Sailed Hides with center
brands are very undesirable, asthe leather from
err Rl &c COLI NIT l.
center brands will have to be thrown out at less
| rates than the prlce paid on sound Rides. Deer
Skins are active at advanced rates owing to local
demand. Goat Skins are very dull at a close
selection and the lowest price. Angora Skins
with good fleece can be used for mats, but best
half-breeds are not wanted at any price. The
Wool market is very dull, at lower prices than
have been known for many years. Sheep Skins
therefore, rule at low rates. Late advices from
the East quote a poor market at that center
The local market is lower, being quotable as
follows:
