OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES were normal and
trading was good for table grades.
There was sufficient fresh fine butter
to go around Selling was quite free
by the receivers. with no disposition
to hold on for higher prices, as the
general impression is that butter will
be lower before ii is higher. The only
change In the market was in under
grades Ladies were off nc; as was
packing stock The pressure is to sell
stored butter, The report of the As
ISOLATED Warehouses was discourage
ing, as il showed an excess in the

EGGS-The market opened 1ac be-
low the close last week, with good
.lV#I
shortage this week. Even so. prices
should be lower. 1t is seldom that
March 10 shows as high prices as pre-
vail today. Under the call of the
Mercantile Exchange 1900 cases were
sold, showing an excellent demand.
New York should use 100000 cases this
week, and the receipts will probably
not be over $4,000. 50 something of a

week. Duck eggs continue in active
demand with short supply. Prices

We're unloaded and put under the
shed with good sales. All this poul-
try is sold without a fixed price. There
are twenty cars still on track. In
' oices indicate 115 cars for the week.
Many of the receivers predict lower
prices under the heavier receipts.
Weather conditions are much better.
fixed prices no quotations
can be made.
DRESSED POULTRY-Fowls con-
tinue to dominate the fresh arrivals.
Where stock has been out several
days II comes frozen. Demand yes
terday was only moderate and re-
ceivers found it difficult to get quo
tations. The dressed poultry trade
has not been so slow for months as in
the past ten days. Complaint Is made
Of the coarse condition of fresh
killed chickens, and these are forced
out at figures below quotations

rs the holdings are light. Much froz-
en- poultry coming by train is in bad
condition. That coming out of the
freezers is good. Quotations are about
