IN HUB MARKETS.
A DOWNWARD TENDENCY IS NOTED
IN BUTTER.

Firmer Tone In Checse-Largo Receipts
OF Esgs-.Bean Market sIow-Fair Trade
In Grass seed--Cattle and Wool.
BOSTON, April 1.-The butter market
has o declining tendency. An easier feel
| ing was developed last week, but receipts
were kept fairly sold up, and with steady
tone at other points sellers here we're not
disposed to give much. Still buyers had
the advantage, and some lots that were
held above their views have been carried
over.
This week tho downward tendency Is
more pronounced. Elgin and New York
have dropped l cent, and with receipts in
creasing, 1t Is likely that prices here will
settle down a little more before the close.
So far, our market has held up very we'll,
and supplies have been kept cleaned up.
In fact, for month past this has been the
highest point in the country.
But spring has come and 1t Is no more
than natural that tho make should in
crease. The quality may not improve
much for few weeks more, but this will
make receivers all the more anxious to
sell, and If we have an unsettled market
oil through April nobody need feel sur
prised.
Our dealers are inclined to be very con-
sentative this season, and all seem to have
set their minds on low prices when the
surplus make comes to hand. It is gen.
orally admitted that the price of June but.
ter last year was too high.
Cheese.
A firmer tone and more inquiry can be
| reported in the cheese market. The stock
of fine fall cheese is not large, and with
anything like good demand it would
soon be cleared up. No cheese can be
made to take the place of fine old for about
two months, and There is chance for al
advance before that time.
Eggs.
An attempt Is being made to stiffcn the
egg market by holding lots back, but re-
ceipts are large, and there are enough sell
ers to keep prices down.
No carloads have as yet been put into
cold storage, because buyers are afraid
that the eggs are chilled by tho recent cold
weather, but Chicago and New York arc
putting some away, and our dealers will
probably soon begin. Many think that Q
lower price must soon be made.
other Produce.
The bean market continues slow and
unsatisfactory. Most snles of marrow pet
at $1.15 to $l.lS, and choice mediums al
$l.l8 to 81 20 a bushel.
Potatoes continue in large supply, ant
selling at low prices.
There is a fair trade in grass seed, ant
prices IRE without material change.
The hop market continues dull, ant
large lots arc hard to place ut any reason
able price.
