Current Comment.

EGGS Receipts have been liberal and de-
mand light. Prices show but little change.
OATs.-The tone of the market is steady,
but 1t does not take much to meet buyers
needs from day to day.
BEANs.-Receipts Of marrow pea beans
continue liberal and with only light de-
mand stocks have accumulated consider
ably.
CoRN.-The market has fuctuated consid-
erably during the week, spot prices follow
ing the cost to ship to a more or less extent.
AT the close the demand Is light.
BurrRR.-Receipts are steadily falling of
and western advices indicate a still further
shrinkage in the make on account of hot,
dry weather. A good deal Of stock now
arriving is also more or less off in quality.
POTATOES. There have been large in
crease in the arrivals from Aroostock coun-
ty and York State this week. There has
also been marked improvement in quality
and condition. Demand has been good and
prices have been very well sustained.
CHEEsE.-Receipts for export 6,502 boxes.
Trade has been quiet all the week, and
while there are some marks of very fine
northern that are held at 9fc and upwards,
there are no sales except in a small way at
over 91c. Best Vermont stock is hardly
quotable at over 94c and average lots have
to go at &c and under.
FLoCR.-The market shows a slower tone
this week, but at the close OF last week a
fair amount of -four was brought. The past
few days shows wheat about 4 to &c lower,
and this unfavorably effects the price of
flour. Some sales of spring patents have
been made up to Sc since our last report,
but since the break in wheat the range of
sales is lower at about $500 to S5.S5.
LUMBER.-The market is improving,
though not at as great a pace as it was ex-
pected. Dealers are still feeling their way
as it were, but are expected in the market
before long. The market is really strong,
however, and prices are in some cases high
er than last reported. The mere fact that
quite a number of the mills on the st.
John and Penobscot have shut down within
three weeks, and still remain so, shows
that the condition of the market is anything
but favorable.
WooL.-The week has again been marked
by big sales and by free purchases by specu-
lators. The most notable feature in the adj
vance in Australians and in fine fleeces.
The pressure in yarns is more and more
towards fine goods, though the large use of
braid in dress making is likely to create an
inquiry for the purely luster woods. The
widest predictions Of the future of wool are
current on the trade, and there is likeli-
hood that the bull interest will be carried
too far. Still it must be remembered that
domestic wool is not yet quite as high as it
was in 1892, which certainly was not good
wool year.
