butter. Cheese and Eggs

Although receipts of eggs were much smaller
yesterday than on the preceding day the market
continued to decline. retail tradesmen were
still purchasing sparngly, they always do on
a declining market, and all receivers were
carrying more less OF a surplus in conse-
Quence. Yesterdays decline was &c a dozen in
pullets and 2I5c in all of the other grades ex-
tras being quoted at 2l1sc. Since the market
started TO break last Saturday extras have de-
clined 151ac dozen.
There was change in prices for butter the
market ruling strong with extras declared firm
instead of steady the preceding day. Cheese
was suddenly active and all grades of California
new fats were higher. the advance being 1izc
a pound in first and nc in fancy and seconds.
Sales on the exchange were as follows:
Butter--10 cases of extras at 3619c a pound.
Eggs-10 cases of extras at 23c, 80 at 22e and
20 at 211sc a dozen.
Cheese-25 fancy new California flats at 15c,
% storage do at l3c and % fancy eastern ched-
dars at 17l5c a pound.
Receipts were 81, 100 lbs butter, 1000 lbs
cheese and S41 cases eggs.
The following are official quotations estab-
lished by the sales. bids and offers on the floor
of the dairy exchange. Prices in the street,
while governed by the exchange quotations, gen
orally range from 1ae to &c higher, owing TO
the various charges to be added

helped to strengthen options. Trade in the pit,
however, was inclined TO drag throughout the
May sold between S1i35s and S1.14%. The
market closed easy with May at $1.135s a LA
and July at S1.001
Decided strength marked trading in the corn
pit, the May delivery scoring new high record
mark for the present upward movement of prices
at 6012c.
An advance of &c TO 1c in the price of the
cash grain was important factor. The mar
ket reacted from the high point OF the day
owing to selling. but closed firm with May at
66ls sq66Ac and July at 65ssc.
Oats scored a net gain OF 1c for the day
compared with the closing quotations OF the
previous session. During the day the May de-
livery sold at 5534e, new high record mark
for the season. The market closed strong at
almost the top with May at 551s @55Ac and
July at 1850.
Provisions were rather weak at the start ow-
ing TO n l0c decline in live hogs. but rallied
with the bulge in grain and closed at net
advances of 2A@5e to 5G712c. Trade was
quiet nearly all day

BONDS AND BUsfKEss
Good Demand for Standard BOnds-The
Recovery in Trade

Recovery in Trade
The New York circular of ]. S. Bache & Co.
The demand for good bonds continues in
practically dndiminished volume, and corpora
opportunity afforded them TO market their obll-
cations. The proceeds of many of the issues
being marketed at present are not for immediate
use, but are held in the treasures IN anticl-
patton of coming requirements and maturing
short bonds and notes. Funds held for such
purposes either leave New YoCk or else
rapidly find their way back 20 this money center.
As result the money market remains undis-
money than borrowers TO secure IL.
Every issue of bonds of merit that has been
offered 10 the public by responsible bankers has
been quickly sold. It is, however. well 10 bear
in mind the fact that with money abnormal
cheap extraordinary discrimination should be ex-
ercised IN the selection OF investments, both
because at such periods the best bonds sell at
their highest prices and because bonds which at
other times would not receive the Endorsement
or competent critical judges occasionally Denent
by absence of condemnation, which IL inter-
preted into tacit approval by the anxiety of in
yestors to realize a rate of interest above what
supply an1 demand determines shall be con
sidered fair for the time being
THE OUTLOOK.
''In periods of dull business and inactive stock
prices pessimism is bound to develop, and we
hear many doleful representations at the present
time because business IS not advancing by leaps
anc bounds. when some people expected 1t
might and because stock prices mounted rapidly
and have now become inert with occasional sag
ging tendencies hear forecasts of further de-
have not yet suffered enough from post
panic conditions. The facts are that year ago
business was at % per cent of normal aud is
now al about 90 per cent. This is a pace OF
recovery much rapid than we had any
reason to expect in the last days of 1907 The
recovery the whole has been gradual-and
healthy because gradual-and there is every
reason TO expect continuance in the same way.
To endeavor to prove that the tariff changes are
not affecting business is futile. In like degree
when the new schedules are reasonably assured
the embargo on activity viii disappear. and
activity may become pronounced. The
situation in the security market shows under
lying strength. which resists every attempt to
force prices much below the surface level. The
public is participating in the holding OF stocks,
but the bulk of them seem 10 be in very
strong hands; and apparently investment and
semi investment holdings increasing rather
than otherwise. The strong tone and wide buy
ing in the bond market give daily evidence OF a
very large amount of funds at command-much
of it seeking permanent investment. Barring
unexpected events. there can be but one out
come TO a condition where prices long
and firmly held when these conditions occur
