The Markets..

this week there Is an easier tendency.
Receipts have further increased, buyers
are holding back and confidence In the
future is lacking. Elgin has lost fully
l cent, and New York has dropped the
same under the influence OF large sup"
plies. Trade is very light with poth
receivers anu jobbers, and buyers have
the advantage, though holders are not
forcing sales at much concessions, espe-
cially those having full grass stock "A
few large purchases have already been
made for cold storage and some OF this
weeks receipts will go direct to the
freeZers How much this will steady
the market remains to be seen. NO
real speculative spirit, however, has yet
been made manifest.
The cheese market holds about the
same as last week. Very little really
choice new stock has been received, and
sales run along in small way at to
8 cents. Old stock is cleaning up at
to 10 cents, and will soon be all disposed
Of. Trade is light and low prices are
expected to rule when the new make
increases.
The egg market has recovered some
what from it's depression. and choice
fresh western, free from hot weather
to lOA cents dozen. But only small
portion of the receipts come up to this
grade, and plenty of stock are still Of
fered at 10 cents and under. Fresh
eastern, II to 111a cents. Buyers are
slow to operate, except they can get
choice select and there is not much
announcement for shippers unless they
have very fine lots.
Beans continue slow of sale, ana
while small lots of choice marrow pea
and mediums on spot command Sllo
a bushel, it is hard to sell carloads to
arrive at over $1.10 to $112H2 yellow
eyes and red kidneys rule dull and easy.
There seems to be no prospects OF any
Improvement in the potato market TINS
season. Trade is slow, and best eastern
are hard to sell at over 25 cents bushel,
in carloads. Receipts are not heavy,
because it is not safe to have much
stock SIRE, but if more were wanted they
could soon be obtained.
