to III cents here, and cents in some
other places. In fact, there has been
quite a boom the past few days, and at
present there is no knowing where it will
stop The demand has been active and
receipts were kept cleaned up. This in
fludes all grades. low. mi dunn and high,
rnd the statistical situation is favorable
for the maintenance of the advance,
though buyers yesterday were not oper-
ating as freely as last week.
The regular trade price may be quoted
at u cents on the finest Vermont, New
Hampshire and northern creamery in as
sorted sizes, with 20 to 20R cents for
something that was not strictly up in all
points.
Higher prices in the country and adj
vanced quotations from Liverpool have
added more strength to the cheese situa-
ton here, and receivers are forced to ask
further advance in order to cover cost.
The lowest price named this week for
choice northern twins is 10 cents, and
10A to 10l2 cents is generally asked for
ate arrivals. Buyers, as usual are slow
to respond. and but few sales have been
made at over 1914 cents, but. with the
country markets quoted at 9ia to 10
cents here leave little or no margin of
profit.
Although receipts Of eggs continue
liberal, there is better feeling than las
week, and prices are about cent higher
on choice western. Sales at Is to 151a
cents. and some very choice at 1G cents.
Ordinary grades slow at IL TO IA cents.
Choice fresh eastern at l6 to Is cents, and
some fancy nearby lots at 20 cents.

| The -four market Is stronger, not only
under the position of speculative wheat
at Chicago, but more particularly under
the position of cash wheat at Minneapo-
lis in regard to wheat for even the near
future months. The big milling con-
Germs are buying wheat and paying the
premium. They also seem to expect
that cash wheat is to so to a still greater
premium over future deliveries.
Cornmeal is stronger, with bag meal
advanced 1c, while oatmeal and the
cereals are little changed. The corn
crop continues to be reported in splendid
condition, with a big yield almost as
sured. Notwithstanding lowering con-
ditions in some sections. by reason of
rains, indications point to a very large
crop. Here the market on corn has
continued rather easy, though the offer
ings on track are very small. But corn
to arrive is freely offered.
Oats have continued easy, under free
offerings of new oats to arrive. The
new crop is reported to be a good one,
and expected to reach 1880, 600 bus, on
the basis of the last government report
Here the quotations are steady, with
oats to arrive rather easy.
Hay is little changed with abundant
offerings Straw is quiet with new rye
straw near at hand. Millfeed is easy:
Hay, s9M16.50; fancy and jobbing, N7@1S;
rye straw, slOM11.
Pork and lard are unchanged, except
that fresh ribs are Zee higher and corned
and fresh tongues advanced. Boston
packers have increased their kill of hogs
somewhat, the total for the week hav-
ing been about $500; preceding week
$4,000; same week a year go. 30, 800. The
