n. Y. MARKET LETTER

(From our Special Correspondent
WHEAT-There was strong rising
trend in the local wheat market dur
ing the week, as speculative offerings
we're light, while sellers for the de-
cline were alarmed by further and
more definite reports regarding the
foreign crop situation Subsequently,
selling pressure developed. and the
market closed easy I'm tone. since
the close of Wednesday Liverpool
had made again of 1 % d to / " by
the time the local market opened,
while other markets also displayed
strength.
CORN.-Although a firm undertona
developed in the corn market early
I'm the week trading continued quiet
with prices fluctuating within COM
paratively narrow limits. Holders
offered sparingly owing to the higher
Liverpool cable advices and lighter
Argentine shipments for the week
than expected. Later. weaker west
ern wires caused an easier feeling
and the market closed quiet with
prices quoted "a lower to "a C higher
BUTTER.-The position of the high
est grades of creamery is trine
frmer than It was last "Wednesday.
but all interests are opposed to a
higher range in process. The demand
for storage purposes Is still insight
ficant, and some of the largest oper-
ators openly assert that they will not
! store butter at present prices.
CHEESE.--The market displayed all
the dull features that are expected
Immediately after holiday. The
demand this week has been of mod
| crate volume. Small sizes of colored
have had the preference in ma
| jority of the sales. Out-of-town
dealers have taken white cheese to
some extent. but their purchases have
not been for quantities of any size,
| Lower prices In English markets
| have discouraged shippers to such an
extent that the export demand this
| week has been entirely dormant
| Canadian prices are much lower than
| those offered here and 1t is fair to
| assume that considerable business
has been diverted from the home
market. Fine skins are rated steady.
LIVE POULTRY.-Jobbers will be
| obligded to carry over about N
| cars, mostly heavy fowls. The de-
mand this week has been better than
was anticipated and the quantities
left unsold wer not large. Chick
ems and light, weighing fowls have
been the best sellers. Heavy fowls
have not been in favor with all class
es of buyers. But few turkeys have
arrived or are wanted. Ducks and
geese were fairly cleaned up.
