Butter, Cheese and Eggs.

Mondays steadiness in Butter not
maintained yesterday, as the expected orders
for shipments did not pan out expected.
Quotations were no lower, but the feeling was
weak again, as stocks are very heavy and the
local demand is quiet, and without shipping
orders the market can hardly hold its own
The decentralization in Cheese continues and
holders are still making liberal concessions TO
work off their enormous holdings. but without
much success. Supplies heavy all over
the coast, and nobody wants any Cheese from
this market On the contrary, the other mar
kets are trying to unload their goods upon
this.
Eggs continue to decline. Receipts yester-
day were the heaviest yet this season. and as
the market was already enormously supplied
and demoralized the depression increased
just much more There is shipping de-
mand of any consequence from any quarter,
and the few boxes sent of here and there
amount to nothing in the face of the large
piles which every detailer is carrying. Every
body wants TO sell and nobody wants to buy

NEW YORK. March THE movement of
70 days stock market was somewhat more
consistent than that OF yesterday in that
prices were above yesterdays level through
out the day, but the character OF the market
was not essentially changed Trading was
near the minimum record for the last four
years, and TIE movement of prices was so
There were minutes at time when the
ticker was silent and motionless. The fact
that prices moved upward had no news to
account for it. The news, in fact offered
various unfavofabie features. The fact that
these unfavorable news factors failed 10 de-
press prices was the subtle reason for the ad
vance. That is to say, traders short of stocks
who had been awaiting decline on bad news
TO cover their contracts, uneasy at the fail
ure to decline. covered their shorts and lifted
prices. The uncertainty over the outcome of
the Paris settlement seems to have been
large influence in a negative way in our mar
ket. The progress Of the settlement to-day
and reports that Arrangement had been
made TO patch uD threatened difficulties in
from some OF It's depression and conduced to
the rally. Sugar was the strongest stock.
The returns OF clearings for January, which
appeared during the day, included Canadian
Pacific and Southern. all showing declines in
net earnings of varying degree compared with
last years corresponding period. Rock Island
and Canadian Pacific showed some heaviness
early in the day, but stocks of other compa-
MES advanced with the rest of the market
Prices dropped from the best before the
closing, after period of practical stagna-
ton
Bonds were irregular Total sales, par
value. S905 O00
United States bonds were unchanged on

CHICAGO. March 1.-Throushout the ses-

Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables.


Trade in Potatoes was quite active under
a steady speculative demand from 1obbers and
the best offerings Of the leading table varieties
were readily marketed at the previously quoted
rates. The belated Oregon steamer brought
down 3101 sacks, which had not been unloaded
inspected up to a late hour. Seed kinds
were firm and in good request. Prices OF
yellow Onions showed no further change and
good keepers met with prompt sale. Only 310
sacks came down on the Oregon steamer.
