CREAMERY BUTTER BOOMING.

The Elgin Butter Board Again Advances
Prices-An Improving Demand for
Country Butter-Higher-Priced Eggs
Expected soon-Sugar and Canned
Goods Still Strong.
MONDAY, Aug %.
Sales of creamery butter were made on
the Elgin butter board to-day at an ad-
vance of 1c per pound over last Monday 8
quotations, which means that the present
range here will be advanced 1c as soon as this
weeks consignments of Elgin butter are re-
ceived. The market is very strong at
the advance and attractive goods are
hard to get in anything like the
quantities desired. Chicago is an active
competitor for Elgiu goods, and as produc-
tion is light prices are bound to be higher.
A Accent local market for choice creamery
is expected by some within month. The
recent advances in Elgin makes has stimu-
lated the demand for lower grades and choice
country makes are in better demand at
advancing prices. If creamery does 20 TO 40
cents, or anywhere near it, the consumption
OF country butter will be very materially
increased.
The general merchandise markets opened
tamely to-day, as usual to Monday, but
reports indicated that the demand was
steadily improving. As to prices, no radical
changes were reDOrteu.
Mr.. David Whitmyre, President Of the
Iron City Milling Company, has just re-
turned from his farm in Mahoning county,
o., aud says the country thereabouts Is
plagued with grasshoppers. They injured
oats considerably before cutting, and are
ow working on the corn.
A gentleman from Washington county,
Pa, says the wheat and oats crops of the
county are unusually good this year. Thirty
acres yielded 800 bushels of wheat. which is
high above the average, and 800 bushels of
oats weighed more than 400 bushels did last
year.

ADVANCES In GRAIN
In . Moderate Way and Further Deciinei
in Hog Products.

In . Moderate Way and Further Declines
in Hog Products.
CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-Dealings on the Board
of Trade to-day resulted in moderate ad-
vances in the value of grains and further
declines in the prices of hog products. While
the receipts of wheat were larger than ex-
pected and foreign markets lower, trade
seemed to favor higher prices at the open
ing. The crowd was evidently short and
as there was little for sale, the bears soon
showed considerable anxiety and bought
freely. Holders seemed co feel much conf
dence and the offerings were rather light
with domestic markets firm. Among the
bullish items of news was report from Lon
don that the Mark Lane Express confirmed
the previously reported deficiency in the
Indian wheat crop. putting it at 100000
bushels less than last year. Another bullish
item was report of the prospect of an early
settlement of the railroad troubles in tho
East. There was also growing belief that
the bearish cable news of the past few days
had been manipulated. Trade was fair
throughout the day, but could not be called
active.
Corn showed a good deal of strength, in
f1uenced chiefly by the firm feeling which
ruled in wheat most OF the time The re-
ceipts exceeded expectations and there
a good speculative demand, and the trade
seemed to feel that the crop conditions are
by no means promising. the market, how
ever, weakened with wheat during the last
hour.
Oats ruled strong on good buying by shorts
and the early strength in other grains. The
offerings were moderate.
A nervous and unsettled feeling prevailed
in hog products, with quite good specula-
tive business transacted. The receipts of
ho2s were larger than generally anticipated,
and though no marked changes in prices oc-
CURED operators regarded the increased
supply as weak feature, and there was
general inclination to sell during the early
part of tile session. while tho demand was
only fan, resulting in quito sharp decline
in prices for all the principal descriptions.
At the decline there was little more desire
to purchase In sympathy with the strength
developed In the grain markets, and prices
rallied to about medium figures. During
the latter part of the session a decidedly
weak feeling again prevailed, offerings from
all sources being. free. Prices receded to
Inside figures. and the market closed rather

The British Grain Trade.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-The Mark Lane Erpress,
in its weekly review OF the British grain
trade, says: The crops have been benefited
by the rain that has fallen during the past

in the middle and north OF England. The

first sales of 1901. Foreign wheat has
dropped l., except Indian, which has been
steadied by diminution of the shipments.
The total supply of wheat held in Great
Britain is 6.S2l 900 quarters, against 1906 900
quarters at the corresponding period in 1891.
Barley, oats and heans are firm. Corn is Sd
cheaper. At to-day's market there was q
fair attendance. New and old English
wheats sold at an average of 30s lid. Many
new samples were of unexpectedly light
weight. Foreign wheat was neglected and
Cd lower. Flour declined Cd. Peas were Cd
dearer. Beans advanced Is. Barley was
strong. Corn and oats were unchanged.

The first Westinghouse electric plant in
Brazil was erected at Juiz de Fora, $50 miles
northwest of Rio Janeiro, in the mountains.
The difficulties in erecting the plant were
country and the very inferior labor. The
power plant consists of two double discharge
Leffel mining wheels. giving together about
800 horsepower, and three dynamos. No
poles could be obtained from the native
timber and the wires from the sta ton to the
town were strung on iron rails set about
five feet in the ground, with cross arms
bolted to them. just as is done in parts of
Russia and India.
