Butter, Cheese and Eggs.

What with washouts and the bad condition
of country roads. the receipts of Butter have
been considerably diminished during the past
several DAYS and the market for the moment
is practically bare of strictly fine creamery
Again, the companies operating the steam
schooners along the northern coast are laying
off their vessels as fast they come in owing
to their dispute with the engineers over the
portation is being lost. But these conditions
are being largely offset by the prostration OF
the telegraph lines, which prevent the reeep-
tion of orders from the northern coast so the
same. The local trade are not disposed to
charge their customers an advance, accu-
mulated supply will come in upon the market
Just as soon as TIE weather clears and railroad

Cheese is lower again and the market is as
glutted with stock and weak as ever.
The situation In Eggs resembles that in
Butter. Diminished receipts account OF in
terrupted transportation offset by the in
ability to receive orders by telegraph and the
falling of in the local demand account of
the storm. 1t was reported yesterday that
some local houses had notified their buyers in
the country not to pay over 15c for storage
purposes under any circumstances. There are
plenty OF Eggs in the country ready to be sent
into market and as it is a question OF only a
disposition to ask higher prices just for this

sequent scarcity that had arisen Initial
quotations of May were up IA to cents at
95@c to e6c. July opened N9%c TO k91c

the bullishness with which business COM
menced were q sharp advance at Liverpool
and advices from Argentina stating that the
strike was not definitely settled, but that diff
fculties were being experienced in adjusting
terms of settlement. The early advance
brought much liquidation. One of the
leaders of the bull crowd reported to be
selling May in fair quantities This helped
take profits. The demand, however, continued
on liberal scale. and as soon as the bulk
of the selling had ceased prices easily rallied

Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables.

Trade in Potatoes was quiet as nearly all
dealers were well supplied and the eonsumptive
demand was rather light. Sellers, however
were still firm in their views and were even
asking higher prices on the wharves for the
best lots of table varieties. The belated Ore
gon steamer brought down 4176 sacks which
were not Enloaded until late in the day. Re
cepts of Onions were Al sacks, nearly all of
which were brought down by the Oregon
steamer and the market ruled firm at the
previously quoted rates.
Receipts of Asparagus were light, as the
storm of the preceding day cut down the move
ment from the river districts and prices OF all
grades frmer Rhubarb arrived freely
and met with a fair demand. Receipts of Green

competition of superior quality offerings from
