trial operations have been thus ia |
vored. There has been some progress |
in the lumber industry but the market
cannot as yet be said to be in salts |
factory condition. Continued strength
in the grain market has practically
eliminated foreign export movement
in flour, and many manufacturers are
closing down or restricting operations
to cover requirements. While de-
mands for hardware and building ma
terials are not yet fully opened up
for spring there Is good business.
Provisions.
Butter-There has been no change
during the past week in the local but
ter as to prices. but the advancing sea-
son and the increased output has had
q tendency to make the tone Of the
market rather weak. Prices range
from 81 to IS cents. There was very
little life to the butter market at the
opening Of the week in New York and
the prices remained unchanged, COM
pared with the close Of last week.
Creamery extras were steady at 30h
@31c. At Chicago the butter market
was not in as firm condition this week
as it was few days ago, and trade
was small In volume.
Eggs-There was another decline in
egg prices this week and indications
are that the downward tendency will
continue for time at least. Quota
tons this week are: To the produc-
ers, $3.50; wholesale, $e.75@7.
Poultry-The continued scarcity of
supplies coming to hand has held the
poultry market firm as to prices,
chickens being advanced in price to
the producers from lac to 15c. 9th
erwise there has been no change.
Dressed Meats-It is reported from
some sources that the continued agita-
ton on the meat inspection PROPOSE
ton has had tendency to boost
prices and that nearby shippers are
reluctant to supply the local market
until something definite can be arrived
at in the matter. The arrival OF froz-
en- beef from Australia on the market
has also entered into the situation. the
quotations on this being given at 1Oh
Ollie, which is one cent under local
products.
Lard and Cured Meats-There has
been no change in this division within
the interim and prices rule firm at for
mer levels, with only seasonable de-
mand apparent.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-There has been no change
in the local apple market during the
week with prices holding frm at $3.50
o. for fancy stocks and $101.25 for
cooking.

easier in price this week at $5@5.50
for fancy and $4.7505.c5 for choice.

ries and pineapples are out of the

/ Potatoes-Both the Irish and sweet

the week, the former being quoted al
$4,000 and the latter $2.50@2.75.

| Grain, Flour and Feed.
/ Wheat Bluestem and club are .
little lower in quotations this week at
S61ac for the former and 773hc for tht
latter, while red Russian holds its for
mer figure at 765ac. There was con
siderable movement the fore part Of
the past week, but at the close bust
ness steadied down some. A develop
ment of the wheat situation Is thu
strong attitude Of the holders. Will
supplies by no means large this Is sur
prising and is accounted for by thu
enormous increase In the demands To-
consumption. Last year the liberia
buying Of importing countries could b,
explained as the result OF the unset
tied political situation in Europe. Blu
this year the demand has been yer,
great, implying that last season.
heavy purchases did not bring abou
any surfeit in reserves.
Flour-The situation still remain
dull. Prices are still held firmly b,
the millers and when bids did no
