Cheese is firm, with better call.

the past week to go west, something UNI
usual. For this market, quotations are
firm. Round lots, 11@111Ac sage, liz |
012c; jobbing kc to 1c higher; Liverpool,
49s.
The egg market is still excited and I'M
certain, though both, New York and
western markets have declined sharply.
The market here is certainly much low
err and continued pleasant weather is
expected to work still easier position.
Quotations are decidedly irregular, and
in some instances nominal. Western

Q37c; eastern fresh, 35@36c; southern,
23@34c; nearby and fancy, 37Q3Sc; job
bling, lie to lie more.
Beans are firmer, with still stronger
reports from New York state and west
ern shippers Here the market Is also
firmer, with sales at better prices Car
load lots, pea and medium, $1.3O0135;
yellow eyes, $1.55Q1.6O; red kidneys,S.S5
Q19O; California small white, $1.9O@2;
Lima, SC per lib; jobbing, 1Oc more.
Flour has been ruling rather quiet for
several days, with prices rather in the
buyers favor. Cash wheat dropped off
a fraction in some of the principal cash
wheat markets; said to be caused by
lessened buying by the millers, and this
may depress the -four market. Mill
shipment prices on spring wheat pat
ents are at "a. 10@450. Trade committee
prices are: Spring wheat, clears, $1,000
1866; patents, $4.1O@475; winter wheat,
clears, $345@3.9O; straights, $4,000; pat
ents, $3.90@4.40
The meal and cereal markets are
steady and little changed.
Corn was stronger on the rally in
wheat, and the fact Of better export
demand. The market here is quiet, but
fairly sustained.
Options on oats were a fraction easier,
while trade in this market was dull.
The supply on track here is small, but
doubtless fully up to the demand.
Hay continues quiet, with full sup
ply at hand, especially of the lower
grades. Straw rules dull, though offer
ings are only small. Millfeed is shade
easier. Hay, $S@14; fancy jubbing lots,
$15@16; rye straw, $9@16; oat straw, SEQ
s.
The pork market is easier on barrel
pork, with leaf lard easier. Ordinary
lard is unchanged. Boston packers
have killed for the week a total of about
So, 800 hogs; preceding week, 33,SOO; same
week year ago, 10000. There is good
movement Of Boston-packed pork pro-
visions into export, when there are
steamers to be had. The total value of
these exports for the week was about
$2O5,O00, preceding week, $1S5,OOO; same
week a year ago, $122O0O.
The supply of beef coming to Boston
has continued rather small, and 1t is
noted that best steers are positively
scarce, the arrivals running to only me-
dunn quality.
Quotations on beef are not much
changed, though the best is firm: Very
choice steers, 9@9Ac; good steers, SIC;
light and cows, 71s@S15c; extra heavy
kinds, 111ac; good kinds, lie; light kinds

light, 5%@6c; backs, 7@Sc; rattles, 2%@
SIC; chucks, 6lsQ7c; short ribs. 1O@12c;
rounds, SQ9c; rumps, 11h@13c; rumps
and loins, l2@15c; loins, 12Q17c.
The mutton market is fully supplied
though about steady. Trade has beer
only fair owing doubtless to the ex.
ceedingly bad condition Of the roads, es-
pecially outside of the cities. A few early
spring lambs have been in the market
and sold from 81 to $40 each. Veals ar,
more plenty and rather easy.
Poultry has not changed much. There
is fair demand for choice, young tur-
keys. The best fowls are in good re-
quest, with choice chickens doing gwell
Turkeys, western, 11@14c; northern, l.
