Current Comment.

Eaas.-Eggs are in steady demand, and
until yesterday the sales we're generally at
2Odc. Yesterday the market closed firm at
2lc, and this morning advanced to &c,
closing with a firm tone. Other western

Refrigerators have been quiet and best
marks have only a moderate sale today at II
to 18c.
BEANS Receipts have been heavy for
the past week and have included arrivals
OF foreign pea and medium. Demand for
white beans has been light and the market
hasweakened under the increased offerings.
Best domestic marrow pea are moving slow.

week but have been mostly for export.
There has been no material change in the

small lots. The finest northern fall twins
hold steady at III to 12c, but there is plenty
of fair to good stock offering at 101 to 1lAc.
But little doing in western twins.

dull and the tone is weaker, with values
more in favor OF the buyer Arrivals for
the week include 416 cars for local use and
So cars for export. Stocks are accumula-

held higher, while the range is down as to
quality. Rys straw Is quiet with choice
quoted at about $16 to S17. Dat straw dull
BUTTER There is but little change to re-
