for good stock, with iced chickens ranging
at to lie. Western iced turkeys are quiet,
with choice hens at 10 to 10hc. Arrivals OF
northern and eastern chickens and fowls
small, and sales are ruling at about steady
prices.
Eoos.-The market is we'll supplied and

LUMBER The situation has improved
some during the week and trade Is begin
ming to assume a fall aspect. 1t is Of course
early in the month to expect the ira lie to
show much interest in the market but deal
ers are hopeful. Values on lumber, gen.
orally speaking, are somewhat better than
they were but we do not note any material
advances. The receipt, both by car and
| cargo are still light giving the market con-
| siderable tone.
HAYS AND STRAw.-There is yet a slow
demand for hay, and under larger receipts
stocks are accommodating rather than being
reduced; 70 For best new hay most sales are
about $1,000 to - 90, some fancy held high

apathetic than ever. There has been only
the most meager general business done this
week which is partly due to the holidays,
together with the continuance of excessive
ly hot weather. While these two influences
may have had some effect in limiting the
volume of trade they are not, however Of
prime Importance and one must revert again
to the goods situation for an explanation Of
the unusual dizziness.
Now that most of the new woods are in
dealers control there becomes more obvious
| the unusually large stock of wool which the
years slack purchasing trade has allowed
to accumulate.
BUTTER-The market the past week has
been more or less depressed by the hot,
muggy weather, and this has affected the
sale as we'll as the quality Of much of the
goods arriving. To-day the weather is
cooler, and choice goods are firmer, al
though the general range of prices is not
materially changed. For choice lois of YER
mont and New Hampshire creameries the
price is 1910, about 10 to 1870 taking in the
general range OF sales, but about 100 is the
top for north New York lots arriving. The
market for extra western creamery is steady
at the close with most sales at 1877 for as
sorted sizes, with large ash tubs at 1Slc.
Grades below the best are quiet with the
price as to quality. For imitation creamery
and ladle goods trade is moderate. Dairy
butter is quiet with fine box and print but.
ter steady, and selling fairly.
