KENTUCKY AND INDIANA.
PULLED AND SECURED
Current Comment,

DRESSED POULTRY Receipts have been
quite liberal, and trade rather quiet for the
past week. The market did not clean up
as well as usual Saturday. Considerable
western stock was carried over, and with
liberal receipts on Monday prices had to be
shaded a little. Western fowls have been
selling since Monday at IL to 111c generally,
and most lots Of chickens at 105 to 115c.
Young turkeys have been dull at 10 to 12c,
and most OF them too poor to bring over 10
10 llc Northern and eastern chickens and
fowls bring full quotations when strictly
choice, but common TO 1ls and light, thin
chickens are not wanted. Ducks In steady,
moderate demand.
EoGs. - Receipts are fairly liberal for the
season but only small proportion are
really choice and fresh. Most OF the fresh
gathered western contain a good many old
eggs. Strictly choice new laid are scarce
and wanted, and the small lots of snch
coming, whether from Mich. or further
west, bring premium. Late sales OF best
Mich, etc, have been at 19c generally with
other western ranging from II to 1S1c as to
grade. Choice refrigerator stock has been
in moderate demand at about tic. Fancy
nearby and extra eastern scarce and high.

mand foots up fair at the prices ruling.

tons compared with week ago. No .
yellow on track billed through to outside
points commands 43I to 44c. with steamer
yellow at 431c. For lower grades the range
is down as to quality and color.
PoTAToEs.-Receipts have been moderate
this week, and prices have been working
upward little but demand has not been
very active. AT the close Aroostook Green
Mountains are in moderate supply at 4S to
90, with best Hebrons at 48c. Very little
York State stock coming.
HAY AND STRAw.-The market continues
quiet for hay, and the demand is confined
to what is needed for immediate use. The
lighter receipts has allowed the former sur
plus to get better cleaned up, and this
gives more healthy tone to all grades.
The best hay at the close is quotable at S16
to $3.50, with lower grades ranging down
IN price as TO quality. Rye straw is in quiet
demand, and the best cars are quotable at
$40 to IL, the latter being for very fancy.
CHEEsE.-Receipts for export, 2 $50 boxes

the strong advices from tie country and
other leadiDg markets. There have been few

larger for the past week, but buyers have
been taking hold little more freely and a

with some talking S1.50. Yellow eyes have
had steady moderate sale at 81 40 to 1 As
for extras.
BUTTKR.-It has been quiet week in
the butter trade. Fresh receipts did not
clean up as we'll last week as heretofore
owing to the larger use OF June goods, and
demand has continued moderate so far this
week. There has been no material change
in prices, however, the finest fresh north
ern creamery still selling at 231c and best
western assorted sizes at 23c. Large tubs
have not been selling as we'll as assorte ed

butter in steady moderate demand.
FLoUR.-There is quiet tone to the mar
ket, but values are tirmer, and most bust
ness doing is at higher prices. With wheat
showing more strength mllers have adj
vanced prices about 10c, since our last re.
port, and the advance is well maintained.
