Wool Most of the local wool houses
report quiet market this week, though
there are very few that have not sold some
thing, while many have good average
business. There have been many buyers
on the market, more than in the preceding
week, the weather conditions having been
favorable. The big four have been on hand
and have bought some wool. Their princi-
pal attention, however, has been given to
taking up what they bought last month.
That they are relieving the lofts of this
wool is evidenced by the heavy shipments
of the week, which have been larger than
in any week this year. The current de-
mand, however, is best from the smaller
mills. In this particular it has been quite
general The dress goods people are using
up great amount of wool and are steadily
buying all the time. The trouble seems to
be with the mems goods mills, these finding
little encouragement in the goods market
and making few fresh purchases of the raw
material.
OATs.-The market has worked higher
during the week, but the demand is slow
and it Is only the increased cost to ship
from the west that has forced prices up. At
the close lots on track are quoted at 363 to
BIC for choice barley clipped white, with
No. 9 clipped white at "a to 34fc. Lower
PoTAroEs. - Receipts have been very
heavy for the past week. The weather has
been unfavorable for trade and demand
has been 80 slack that large supply has
accumulated at the roads. Prices on the
leading kinds are ruling full sc lower than
week ago, and the market is very dull at
the decline. Since Monday Csc has been
top for best Aroostook Green Mountains
and best Hebrons have been urged for sale
at Coo. Other kinds slow at quotations.
BUTTER.-We still have to report a very
dull and unsatisfactory butter market. Re-
ceipts are liberal, and as usual at this sea-
son of the year buyers are working very
carefully. No one wants any more goods
than they have immediate use for, and buy
ers Will have the advantage until stock
&C mes good enough for storage. There was
good deal of stock left over from last
week, Friday being close holiday, and on
Monday the finest creamery met with
slow sale at zoe. Since then there has been
very light trade, and some Of the closing
sales have been at 1910. The market closes
with a weak tone and it is impossible to
force sales at any reasonable concession.
Nothing doing in under grades. North, rn
dairy dull and easy. Boxes and prints slow
at quotations.
FLoUR,-There is a moderate business do
ing, with values held trhe higher than
week ago. There is no life to the market,
however, and buyers will operate only as
their necessities require. NO one appears
to have any confidence in the MARKET and
either on an advance or at decline pur-
chases are very sparingly made. Spring
patents are meeting with slow sale, the
range Of business being mostly at about
81 to 4.25, the latter being the top to sell,
although some special brands are held high
or. The bulk CT the business doing ia at
about 81 to 410. Kansas patents are slow,
with values quoted at about $3.50 to %.
Complaints Of unsound flours are are being
made, and it looks as though the warmer
weather would cause more trouble in this
respect. Winter patents are slow OF sale,
with the range at about $3.50 to AIS. For
winter clear aad straight fours some bust
ness is doing at about S3.45 to $500, few
sales ranging above the latter figure.
