HONEY-Choice Comb is scarce and is be-
ing inquired after. For extracted the demand
is slow. We quote Bright new comb, 1215S
@l3c p 10; amber extracted, 41zG51ac p ID.
BUTTER-The market is not in good shape
for sellers. Accommodations of fresh roll Butter
give the situation much softer tone. Asking
prices were lowered in due season with a view
OF drawing out greater custom, but the object SO
far has not been attained. Meanwhile receipts
come. forward freely, and stocks are daily in
ereasing: eastern consignmenIs are coming to
hand with freedom, and pressure to sell tends
to further weaken prices of domestic product.
Fancy, 26c; good to choice, 23@25c; store lots,
l7@22c; Eastern, l7@2lc ID.
.CHEESE-Prices are undisturbed though the
outlook is in favor of sellers, who hope for
higher prices at no distant day. and are, there
fore, not forcing business at present. Good TO
Eastern, ordinary to fine, 1O@15c q Ii.
EGGS-Sales OF extra choice California are
said to have been made as high as 26c, though
hardly quotable figure. Of ranch lots there
ply. Quotations for the Eastern article have
been advanced, because prices at distant
purchasing points have gone up, and ship
ments in this direction are not likely to be so
liberal in the near future. We quote as follows:
California, 24925c for select ranch, and 2l@
23c q dozen for store lots: Eastern, 161aG171zc p
dozen.
POULTRY Continued arrivals of Eastern
fowl give general weak feeling to the market.

keys, 1S@2Oc p ID Easterns Hens, S5@6 g

wooL-!There has been no change either in
values or in the status of our local market since
a week ago. Some business is being done right
along, and buyers so far have had prices in
their favor There is a large share of California
stock from last year yet unsold in Eastern
markets, and until shippers can clean up, they
will be slow to further operate on anything like
free or liberal basis. We quote
Northern, choice bright, . 150l7c
San Joaquin and Southern ........ l0ul4
Calaveras and 10G14
Eastern Oregon, heavy............ ........-.10@12
Eastern Oregon.
HIDES AND SKINS-Sumner Il Co.'S eircu.
lar, just issued, says: 'We cannot quote any
improvement; prices are somewhat weaker and
there does not seem to be much prospect of
better market. Heavy and medium Steers are
in fair demand. Light Hides are very quiet.
Kip, Veal and Calf are very dull, indeed. Dry
Flints are somewhat lower and the outlook is
not encouraging. Sailed Hides with center
brands are very undesirable, as the leather
from such stock is sold at less rates Deer Skins
are active at advanced rates, owing to local de-
mand. Goat Skins are rather quiet at close
selection and low price Angora Skins with
good fleece can be used for mats. Sheep Skins
are governed in measure by the Wool market.
Pullers now figure especially on the Pelt, and
give the preference to green and wet sailed
Sheep Skins Dry Pelts have, as rule, large
percentage of damaged stock which cannot be
tanned into leather, and therefore sell at less
rates" Quotable as follows:

MEAT MARKET-All descriptions make good
representation. Prices, as a rule, have not
changed much in week, but there is easy I'M
dertone TO the market and lower figures in the
near future are not improbable. Following are
