BOSTON WHOLESALE MARKETS.

ITO make the following quotations of value
~ to carefully note the predatory remarks
which precede all articles quoted. in mar
ket of this character IL is impossible to give
prices for every day of the week, but noting
the general tendency of trade. those given
will be found sufficiently close 70 enable
dealers TO base their transactions thereon.l
There Is a general quiet feature about the
market. The tariff uncertainty still makes q
feeling OF distrust and prevents any great
amount OF active trading Operators are
purchasing only the supplies they actually
need for hand to mouth consumption. The
fish trade Is extremely quiet. The mackerel
catch continues light and the fish are
very scarce Dry cod are not plenty.
Other cured fish are slow at steady
prices. The -four market s quiet
with values quoted steady. Sales are slow
OF spot corn, which is scarce. Oats are
unsettled and good goods are scarce. Mill
feed ls firm with fair trade. Butter has as
yet only moderate demand, but steady
p~ices rule best goods. Cheese is quiet and
steady. Eggs have firmer market The
potato trede is steady and the market re-
mains unchanged. Hay is dull for low
grades and firm for better goods. Refined
sugar is firm, with prices unchanged.
