Baltimore Markets.

Under ample receipts from all sec
lions the white potato market con-
tinues easy, but prices continue
fairly steady at last weeks quota.
tons For we'll graded stock fair
demand prevails, but inferior SUM-
burned, as well as ungraded potatoes
are not desirable and all offerings OF
such move slow even when sold at
discounts. No. / Maryland and Nlr-
GINA potatoes will bring 2.75 to go
barrel and 1.50 to 200 for No. stock,
while bushel hampers sell mostly LOO
to 1.25, as to quality and size. Mar
ket for sweet potatoes and yams slow
and easy under liberal receipts and
only fair demand. To draw top prices
of $50 to 2.40 barrel for sweet and
$50 to 200 barrel for vans, stock
must grade No. l, as anything off
grade or small and irregular quality
is hard to sell, while No. stock and
Gull sweets are not wanted at any
price.

Egg Receipts Light.
Receipts of native and nearby
strictly fresh eggs have been running
very light this week, and the market
on this class OF stock continues very
firm. A good and constant demand
prevails for strictly fresh eggs show
ing quality which meets with ready
sale at outside prices and in some in.
stances will bring premium, but
the average receipts OF so-called fresh
eggs are OF such irregular quality
that they can only be termed current
receipts and have to be offered at
discount. The market closed today at
40 cents a dozen, for first in free
cases and 38 cents a dozen for current
receipts in free cases.
Live Poultry Quotations.
While the live poultry market
slumped the early part Of the week
with decline in values, 1t has shown
f1rmer tone the past two days ow-
ing to the fact that the Jews are
again in the market for their coming
holiday, and values are expected to
shoW some advance next week. Re-
ceipts OF Spring chickens have been
running fair but in excess of the de.
mand, which is good for all choice fat
stock and all offerings of this sort
clean up promptly, but small poor
chickens are slow to move with too
many OF this kind in the daily re-
ceipts. Medium to large Springers
will bring 81 to % a pound, and Leg
horns. % to 26, but all poor and thin
fowl are slow sale at 90. Old hens,
ia pounds, and over in good demand
at % to 26, but smaller fowl and
Leghorns move slow at II and is,
while old ROSTERS are draggy at Is
10 IS.
Good demand prevails for ducks
pounds. and over at % and %, but
smaller fowl not desirable at II and
is. Guinea fowl holds steady at Is
edcn Ior young STOCK, ga pounds
and over, and 40 to SIS. each, for
smaller. but old stays are slow sale
AT 40. Pigeons in fairly good demand
at 20 TO so, a pair, for both young
and old.
Cattle Market Steady.
The general live cattle market rules
steady TO firm under light receipts on
the wharves and d good demand, but
centered on top-grade cattle. All poor
or rough cattle is hard to place at
low and irregular values. Choice
handy weight veal calves in light re-
ceipt and in good demand, but large
rough calves, az we'll as poor cullS
stock, not desira BILE and slow saae at
inside prices.
