MARKETS
STILL UNSETTLED
Increase in Supplies Affects
Some Lines, but Changes
Are Small.

Supplies of most lines tended to in
crease soon after the end Of the Feb
ruary cold wave, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics, Market News
Service. Some leading farm products
lost the price gains made during the
first half of the month. Wheat held
firm on new reports of crop injury and
some prospect of export demand. Beef
cattle were still in moderate supply
and prices well maintained, although
veal calves lost all of the months
gains. There was little change in prices
of hay, feeds, wool, cotton, hogs, lambs,
poultry, dairy products and apples. Egg
supplies are increasing again and prices
resumed the seasonal decline, reaching
Winters lowest levels. Potatoes lost
much of the recent rise but the market
position of onions and cabbage was
supported by reports of some damage
or delay to the Southern crops.
Butter Market Unsettled.
The butter markets were nervous and
unsettled near the middle of February
with few price changes. The volume
of trade was not large, as buyers in
general appeared to lack confidence.
The position based on supply and de-
mand appears satisfactory. The rate
of movement out of storage during the
first Is days of February 1893, has
been rather satisfactory. Storage but
ter is apparently in rather firm hands.

Potatoes Lose Advance.

but nearly all other potatoes declined
IN terminal markets. The Chicago
carlot market dropped sharply on
Northern round whites to 70a73 cents
per 100-pound bag. with the price of
Russets down to S125. Onion prices
continued their upward swing, at least
In the East. The 50-pound bags of

sey strengthened, rs cents to $l.s5

share Of the receipts consisted Of light
weights. The general quality Of the
run did not rank very high, as many
poorly finished or out Of condition hogs
were included. The fresh pork market
declined sharply the third week of Feb
ruary. Prices on pork loins at New
York sold 50 to 50 lower and at Chi
cago s1.50 to $3.50 lower.
Prices of fat lambs fiuctuated consid-
erably. but were practically unchanged
at Chicago. Medium weight choice
grade lambs were relatively scarce most
Of the time, forcing buyers to take the
heavier offerings for numbers. East
ern dressed lamb markets slumped
sharply, New York prices running $2.5O
to SO lower.
The Boston wool market was the
slowest in several months and price
trend was slightly downward. Buying
was suddenly discontinued by some
mills which previously had been stead
lily in the market for moderate quanti-
ties.
Wheat Feeds Higher.
Winter wheat feeds were on an up
trend in February. Cottonseed meal
prices averaged about unchanged near
the middle of the month. Supplies re-
mained light and consuming demand
continued much below normal. Linseed
meal prices lost ground at many markets.
The weakness was confined mostly to
the Central Western and Northwest
ern markets, and the situation was
fairly steady at Eastern points. The
light offerings were not quite equal to
demand at Buffalo and prices advanced
so cents per ton. Quotations at Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh were
unchanged, but prices at Middle West
ern markets were mostly so cents per
ton lower than during the previous
week. Prices for gluten feed, gluten
meal, soybean meal, hominy feed, al

falfa meal and tankage were mostly
unchanged.
Grain About Steady.
Domestic grain markets were fairly
steady around the middle of the month,
although trading was dull, with offer
ings very light. Reports of further
deterioration in Winter wheat in
Western Kansas and Nebraska, In
Oklahoma and Eastern Colorado, and
also In Eastern Washington and Ore
gon, together with very small current
receipts maintained firm tone in cash
wheat markets and premiums on mill
ing types were slightly higher. Corn
and oats remained weak, with prices
near the seasons low point Demand
continued dull and the moderate ar
rivals at most markets moved slowly
into consuming channels at barely
steady prices. Barley and rye strength
ened slightly at some points under a
more active inquiry and fax prices

STEEL PRODUCTION
OFF, DURING WEEK
Slight Decline Puts Estimated
Output Under 19 Per Cent
of Capacity.
~ the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, February 22.-Iron Age
said today that steel ingot production
for the country at large has declined
this week to shade under 19 per cent
of rated capacity. compared with 20
per cent last week
The decline was attributed to COM
bination of circumstances, chiefly a
falling off in automobile tonnage, which
has been offset only in part by an in
crease In releases by the Ford Motor
Co.
However, :" iron Age said, 'the fiat
tening out of steel demand may also
be ascribed to unsettlement over weak
price situation and the Michigan bank
holiday"
The effect of smaller automobile spec
1fications was reported most marked at
Cleveland, where the ingot rate has de-
clined from ,38 to IS per cent. The
publication said the immediate outlook
for the steel industry still is uncertain
owing to lack of a substantial volume
Of new building work, the almost COM
plete absence from the market of the
railroads and the indefiniteness of au-
tomobile schedules after this month.
The Iron Age composite prices were
unchanged at 1923 cents a pound for
finished steel $13.56 a gross ton for pig
IRON and s6.83 for heavy melting scrap.

Butter production was reported decreas-
ing the first half of the month.
Fresh cheese markets have continued
steady since the middle Of February
in producing and consuming centers.
Some delays in shipments were expert
enced, but with trading only of fair
volume, market supplies were ample at
all times. The make of cheese during
the last several weeks has been some
what curtailed by unseasonably cold
weather but is still about as heavy as
at this time In 1882.
Eggs Lower.
After the midmonth furry resulting
from cold weather and lighter supplies.
the egg market resumed the downward
course usual at the time OF year. Prices
reached new low levels after the middle
OF February. There are still some
short-held eggs in storage which must
be worked out within the next few
weeks, and this fact tends to keep
the market in a weak and uneasy con-
dition for the time being.
Recent lighter receipts caused a
slight improvement in the dressed poul-
try markets and prices advanced about
