many sellers under 23ha cents BOth
western and northwestern stock is held
with considerable confidence.
Jobbers advanced their prices to &c
cents for tubs and % cents for prints and
boxes. and the indications are that they
will adhere to that rate unless some un-
looked for change takes place. AS the
wholesale market stands, jobbers cannot
sell first class creamery for less and get
any profit The lower grades will be
sold at proportionate rate
y firm tone has been maintained in the
cheese market, and sales have been mod
crate on the basis of ~ to 12ia cents for
New York twins. Holders are indif
fercnt about offering September make
under 1917 cents Notwithstanding the
fact that the prices at Canton were not
reported as high as the week previous,
and there is a constant feeling that full
rates will he maintained during the
month. Very little early make can be
bouE at IL cents.
For strictly fresh eggs there has been
a good demand and prices rule firm, but
inferior grades sell slowly. Sales Of
fine fresh gathered western at 20 cents,
and fair to choice at IS to 10 cents. Most
of the receipts come under the head of the
latter rate Fresh eastern in demand at
90 to 25 cents, outside for new laid. Stor-
age eggs have been selling fairly at II
cents for the best.
Beans are decidedly frmer, and have
made another advance. Quotations for
this market are firmer at: Carload lots,
pea, 81 IS; medium, 81 So; small pea, 81. 65;
yellow eyes, 81 60 red kidney, $50: Cal
ifornia, small white, $3.50; Lima, be per
pound; jobbing, 10c more.
Flour is decidedly firmer on the early
improvement in wheat, and prices have
advanced &c and 10c. Trade has also
been a good deal better, certain Of the
leading Minneapolis millers selling a
large amount Of flour the past three or
four days. The demand for export has
been better, with about the only draw
back the great scarcity Of cars, and the
great amount of flour behind for want
of transportation.
No changes have taken place in the
market on cornmeal. though the situa-
ton Is reported as firm, under the
strength in the market on corn. Oat-
meal and the cereals are steady and un-
changed.
Corn has been firmer a part Of the
time. especially on September and De
cember, while May has shown little
decline. The strength in the market
seems to be backed up by better re-
| quest for export, with the feeling in
this country that the growing crop has
been at least fully estimated. The mar
| ket here is firm, by reason of the great
/ lack OF cars for bringing the grain for
/ ward.
Oats have continued very steady. with
a tone of firmness under the lack of
cars for transportation. The primary
markets have also been very well sus
tanned, the farmers declining to market
their oats without better prices. Here
the market is firm, especially on fancy
heavy oats.
Hay has continued firm. with fair
demand. Rye straw is reported firm.
with the demand good, Cottonseed meal
and linseed meal are both particularly
firm, by reason of an export request and
full shipments. Higher prices on both
are predicted. Hay, s9.5Odl6; fancy and
jobbing, SIG 50Ql7; rye straw SllQll.50.
The pork and lard markets are not
much changed, though ribs are lower
and leaf lard higher. Boston packers
have lessened their killing Of hogs some
what, the total for the week having been
about 81, 500. There has been an excel
lent movement in Boston packed pro-
visions into export, the total value OF
these exports for the week amounting
to about $4,000.

especially on good to choice, but trade
has ruled dull; buyers Directing serious
ly to the higher prices. Still quotations
