The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1895-02-13
Current Weekly Comment.

WooL-There has been a pretty fair at
tendance during the week, especially when
the exceptionally cold weather is taken into
consideration.
CoRN.-The demand has ruled quiet dur
ing the week, but at the close the market
is quoted firmer in sympathy with the higher
prices ruling West.
is hardly anything Of interest to report in
the market. Business is very light, both
from wholesale dealers standpoint and
from that of retailers also.
CHEEsE.-There is no change in the gen.
eral condition Of the market. Demand is
light and for small lots at about II to 11bc
for fine late-made large northern, with fair
to good grades dull at 81 to 10Ac.
BEANS Receipts of domestic white beans
are light and choice; stock is firmly held,
but demand is also light and best marrow
pea and medium are selling rather slowly
at $1.S5. Extra Yellow Eyes we'll sold up
and little firmer. Red Kidneys in moder-
ate demand.
PoTAToEs.-Receip are still moderate,
but the supply is more than enough for the
demand and the feeling is easy on every
thing except choice Rose. Hebrons are
plenty and most lots dull at 55c. There is
considerable call for good seed Rose but
only few coming. Other kinds are fairly
steady at quotations.
EGGs.-We have had another week of ex-
tremely cold weather and receipts of fresh
eggs have been light. Stocks of all kinds
are well reduced and with anything like
the usual demand our market would soon
be completely bare. But dem and is still so
slack that it is difficult to establish any adj
vance or to sell freely at any reasonable
price.
FLoUR.-The demand for flour is yet con-
fined to a slow call for well-known trade
brands, which have to be bought, because
this stock of those particular tiours happens
to be getting low. The general market is
yet dull, however, with no life in the bust
ness, and where the flour is not needed, no
one would buy except at liberal conces-
sions.
LIVE STocK.-The beef market remains as
last reported, There is alsteady moderate
demand, with most sales at u to Sc. Nut
ton and yearlings hold firm and occasional
sales of extra lots have been made at To-
Lambs in moderate supply and ruling a
little higher. Veals in fair supply and hav-
ing moderate sale at former prices Coun-
try dressed hogs quoted at 81 to &c.
HAY AND STRAw-The receipts of hay
show a considerable falling off, but the de-
mand is quiet, and it would take number
OF weeks more OF small arrivals TO get rid of
the surplus stocks on hand. The best hay
is steady, and there is little coming in that
will sell much above S14. Low and medium
grades are in large supply, and on these
grades the most weakness is shown. Rye
straw is quiet
BUTTER. There has been very little
change in the butter market this week.
The feeling is full as firm on strictly fine
fresh-made creamery, rs owing to the ex-
IRENE cold weather of late, the make of this
grade must be limited, The finest fresh
made Northern creamery continues in
steady demand at 25c. Western, not often
good enough to bring over 23c, but If strictly
fine sells readily at 24c. Medium and low
grades are dull and easy. Northern dairy
lots dull with few good enough to bring
over 18 to 20c. Choice fresh imitation
creamery steady at 1876. Best fresh ladies
quiet at 10 to lac, Held ladies very dull.
