of a pronounced character and the
market is in very unsatisfactory
condition. There was decline in the
market at New York during most of
the week. Everything along the line
vert down and the entire butter trade
was in a demoralized condition.
Eggs-Stocks have been coming to
hand in just about sufficient quaint
ties to supply the demands, but, new
ertheless, quotations are a shade lower
than a week ago, at $9@9.50 to the
producers, and $40 Wholesale. Under
at New York experienced a decline
the fore part of the week, but closed
steady, with the stocks fairly well
cleaned up. With receipts of fresh
eggs from the country on the increase
and mild weather, the market at Chi
cago showed a pronounced weakness.
Poultry-Chickens have been more
plentiful during the week, but all other
lines are scarce and as result prices
are little firmer. Quotations are, to
the producers live weight, chickens IS
cents, ROSTERS 10c, ducks 14c; dressed,
wholesale, chickens 18c, roosters 12c
and ducks 18c
FRESH Medls-Iuere mas U6en no
changes as to prices over a week ago
and stocks are coming to hand In suf-
ficient quantities to meet all require
ments. Coast advices note the arrival
Of a shipload of beef from Australia,
which included 1900 carcasses of beef
and 500 carcasses of mutton.
Lard and Cured Meats-The situa-
tion is holding easy at former levels
and no marked changes are anticipat-
ed at the present time.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-While the local apple mar
ket is slightly firmer, there has been
no change as to prices and stocks are
adequate for demands at the ruling
figures of the past several weeks of
$1.25@1.75 for fancy and $1@1.25 for
cooking. Apples continue to hold a
strong position at Chicago and there
was some advances in price on fancy
barreled stock during the weeks. Ar
rivals ran very light and were princi-
pal1y of Greetings.
Other Fruits-Florida grapefruit is
up rs cents this week, at $3.50, and
Emperor grapes have been superseded
by imported stocks, which are jobbing
at 81. Otherwise the market remains
unchanged.
Potatoes-The ruling apathy in the
local market for the past several
weeks remains unchanged and the tu-
bers are still quoted at $1@1.25. AT
Chicago the trading was spiritless and
a general lethargy settled over the
market There was little better
feeling in the potato market at New
York, but not much improvement in
prices.
Other Vegetables = Oregon dry
, onions are a little firmer this week
at $3.75@4, as is also parsnips, at Z
cents. California cabbage is now or
the market and is iobbing at 1925. as
is also California celery, quoted al
90c@S1 wholesale, otherwise there has
been no changes over last week
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-Bluestem remains the same
in price as last week, but club anG
, red Russian are off little, the former
|, half a cent and the latter one cent
: the prices being 855sc for bluestem
rec for club and 7419c for red Russian
There has been very little movement
! of grain at interior points and ths
: market is rather quiet. Coast points
also report trading as quiet and only
few interior millers, who were IN
! need of fancy article. willing to pay
the price.
F'lour-There Is no new develop
ments in the flour situation and from
quarters where immediate improve
! ment in the flour trade was expected
with the advent of the new year there
is a feeling Of disappointment. Some
mills are inclined to report improve
ment in the flour trade, but, generally
speaking, 1t seems to be about only
. of the required volume to meet normal
demands.
Feed-The sharpening up in weather
conditions has had slight tendency
to liven up the feed market, but there
; has been no change as to prices, ex
cept that corn is a little weaker, at
$3.50. In millfeeds the market Ia
broader, owing to limited offerings
