by noting the general tendency Of trade,
those given will be found sufficiently close 10
enable dealers TO base their transactions
thereOn.l
The market may be said to be on the
mend, so far as agricultural products are
concerned. as everything in that line is In
fair demand and the market is Kept well
cleaned up Of supplies in nearly every de-
partment OF trade. There has been no boom,
but business is OF steady and healthy
growth and is likely TO be well maintained
from now on.
APPLES.-Thcrei is little doing in apples
now, and what stock is left on hand bids
fair 10 be closed out at low prices, unless it
is soon sold. Apples depreciate rapidly at
this season, aud poor fruit has 10 sell for
what ii will bring. Five dollars is the out
side round lot price for gilt-edge Baldwins
and Russets, but there are a few sales at
a. 25Cd4 80. In New York apples are in
moderate supply and demand light. Fancy
Badwins and Spies, a. $4,000; Russets,
% 5O(a4 y.
BEANS.-Thc upward tendency is still
maintained. II is claimed that stocks are
small with only light supplies now TO come
forward.

BEEF.-Fresh beef is dull, but there Is not
break in the outside price, which sill re-
mains at 81 cents; but some beef
has been put on the market that had been
held so long as to oblisc its sale aud for such
prices have been much below quotations.
Consumers and retailers are desperately re-
sisting the advance.
| BUTTER Stocks are short and are
steamed up as fast AS they arrive, with the
Indications that this condition will continue
| for week or more longer. Receivers arc
pursuing II very conservative course as to
| prices when the scant supply is considered.
! We understand that some II Orthern dairy
men who usually make cheese on the open
| ing OF spring think there will be more
money for week or two in butter. II this
is so it will tend to increase the supplies and
make the market drop earlier than would
otherwise BE- the case; 80 cents is the outside
obbing price.

CHEESE.-Tr Trade is duh and quiet, but
The supplies are gradually being exhausted
which makes holders feel strong. Twelve
and half cents is readily paid, but when l3c
S asked, even though II is for fine, full
,rcam old stock, a demur Is raised and the
attempted advance is resisted. The Liver
pool quotation is $50. 4 Il.
EGGS.-Eggs are doing better under the
active demand for cold storage, and the pos
,iLle withdrawal Of many hens and eggs for
Matching purposes. Eastern extra, if they
are really extra, viii! command lie, but COM
mon eastern and northern eggs, and most of
he western supplies, sell at lGc.
