Spring-like weather induces expan
sion In trade at nearly all centres, al
though in Canada and northern New
York and New England the snow II
still very deep and roads are in bat
condition. holding back any season
able development.
The high prices of butter have cur
tailed consumption and led to some re-
ductions in values The quotations al
date of writing this are; Chicago 80
New York 81, Boston 33. 1t will be
seen that more conservative Boston
has not lost as much as have the oth-
er markets. But the decline is not &C.
casiong any alarm, as 1t Is expected
that with even moderate trade the
serviceable stock will all be used up
during the month. The receipts in
Boston last week were only $4,000
pounds while the stock in storage was
pulled down to $4,000 tubs. The New
York Produce Review says that no
month for the past fifteen years shows
as high an average price as the month
just closed, February, 1905-32.1S
cents. Prices may wabble little dur
| ing the next few weeks, but no one
can see any reason for a great decline
under prevailing conditions as to sup
ply, even IL high prices cut down the
demand materially. A pinch in which
the prices may take even much high
er turn for a week or two Is possible
before the first of May.
Eggs barely hold their own and may
be lower before this reaches its read
ers on account of bad break In Chi
cago. AS the receipts have been rum
ming light all through February the
market is in healthy condition for the
spring break. The stock in storage
here has been reduced to 1857 cases:
and with a week or two or clustering
weather there might be a shortage be-
fore the flush Of spring supplies comes
in from southern and southwestern |
country.
Beef continues weak and prices are |
off half cent-eight cents being the |
top Of the market on steers Fat hogs |
are ten cents per hundred higher on
the average in the leading markets
s495. Lambs are in over supply AMI
prices are down two cents, nothing
being quoted over 10 cents.
The weeks excitement has been In
The wheat market. The spectators in
May options got prices up to where
heir point had been made-over
lis 1-3-let things drop creating
oanic among the small holders who
ost heavily while the profits of the
Insiders are estimated at five to eight
million dollars. At the break the
'rices dropped to 91.12h but since has !
eacted some and made an advance
f two cents, being now at s1.15. !
Potatoes continue quiet and easy 9
nut the best apples are somewhat 9
rmer, on small sales
Vegetables generally are firm with '
n advancing tendency. This is es- y
ecially true as regards southern stuff Il
here much damage has been done q
Y recent cold weather The same "
ause has cut down the strawberry p
eceipts to almost nothing. Some d
rices take wide range according to e
lie quality of the goods. Lettuce for P
lstance, sells at from 30 cents to 50 p
box, according to quality. u
Cheese is firmer and holders are VI
ot pressing sales as they know that &c
! they have will be wanted at full
ices therefore they can take busi- p'
ess as 1t comes. G. M. W. W
