running close up to the fresh.
some Of the finest creamery now Comes
from the west, and several sales were
made at 26 cents. But only a small nor
ton OF the receipts come I'D to this
standard. For most offered "a tn 95n
cents is full quotation. and the de-
mand Is not quick at that. After pass-
ing the fancy grade trade Is slow, and

Jobbers had to advance their prices on
tresh creamery to q and 20 cents, and. on

There has been a steady market in
cheese, with no change since last week.
Sales of New York twins have run along
at 12h TO Is cents, and holders com
tinue strong in their views on this basis.
Holders of fine September twins are not
ofering under 13 cents, which they feel
pretty sure of getting before long. Some
OF the late made October lots are not
as desirable as the September makes.

is a good demand, with sales at % to "a
cents, but the bulk of the receipts are
not good enough to bring over 20 to %
cents. Fresh eastern sell at % to 26
cents, and fancy hennery at 30 cents
and upwards. The supply of real fresh
eggs is very small Storage eggs are
plentiful and slow at 16 to II cents.

somewhat irregular. Some of the prin-

prices. Mill shipment, spring wheat

The pork market is easier on fresh
ribs. by reason of surplus Of western
ribs, and easier on lard and pure leaf
lard. At the same time, plucks, hooks
and feet are higher. Hogs in the west
are reported 10Q15 cents higher.
The market on beef has ruled dull,
with reduced volume of trade. At the
same time, the shippers have maintained
a firm front ordering statesmen to get
better prices or not sell the beef. This
has resulted in slightly better prices
being paid, but with the selling of beef
somewhat curtailed. Quotations are
reported very firm, with the quality of
the beef coming a good deal improved.
