Butter has made another advance equal to that of 
last week. The arrivals are light and everything 
cleans up quickly at outside quotations. There Is no 
accumulation. Much higher prices are Improbable 
because the present advance has checked consump¬ 
tion and lessened the out-of-town demand, so a much 
smaller amount Is required to supply the trade. It Is 
nearly time for an Increase In receipts and any 
material addition would soon depreciate prices.

buyers to supply their wants at outsl 1e quotations on

strong market.

Egos have continued Arm all the week, with mod¬ 
erate arrivals and a brisk demand. The cold weather 
prevailing for the past week is mainly responsible 
for this. A warm spell would Increase receipts and 
tend to lower prices.

Fruits.— Receipts of apples are light and the prices 
are firm. The demand is limited. Cranberries are 
dull and quotati ns are for small lots In a jobbing 
way. Grapes are dull and there is only a limited de¬ 
mand. Florida oranges are Arm and prices well 
maintained ; supplies of best fruit are not large. E. 
L Goodsell sold a car-load of California oranges the 
past week at good prices. Californias never reach 
this market under ordinary prices, but Florldas are 
so high and the supply so much smaller than usual, 
that the venture has been made. The Californias are 
claimed by many to be superior to the Florldas. 
Florida strawberries are quite plen'lful and are sell¬ 
ing at low prices. Some lots received during the 
week were badly frozen en route. Dried fruits show 
little change.

Poultry.— Fine poultry is a triAe lower under free 
receipts. The demand has been slow. Dressed poultry 
shows more Armuess and Is somewhat higher. Frozen 
lots are plentiful, but fresh dressed In Ane condition 
have been scarce. Broilers sell for 20 to 37>6 cents 
per pound; Capons from IS to 18 cents, the larger 
sizes of the latter selling best.

Vegetables.— Potatoes are unchanged. The demand 
is only moderate. Onions continue steady, the light 
receipts being sufficient to supply the limited de¬ 
mand. Southern vegetables play an important part 
in supplying the market. The quality, upon the 
whole, is good. Florida Is sending some very good 
cabbages. As the quantity of pease, beaus, beets, etc 
increases, the prices slowly decline. Taking all 
things into consideration, the vegetable market is 
well supplied.

age to the French crop. Late cables came 54<»56d 
higher at Liverpool, despite t'e rumors of business 
troubles lu London, and Paris was decidedly stronger ( 
which brought about a heavy buying movement, 
leading to a general rise. There were further reports 
of snow In the winter wheat belt, and liberal receipts 
in the Northwest The spot market also hardened,

The Depth of Degradation.— Of all 
the subtle pretences with which gambling 
has covered its leprous hide, the horse- 
blanket has so far proved the best. The 
race-track stands to-day one of the darkest 
blots on our Christian civilization. I 
honestly beiieve that where one man is 
ruined by the lottery, 10 men are utterly 
destroyed, body and soul, for this world 
and the next, by the gambling of the race¬ 
track. The race-tracks, as now main¬ 
tained, are gambling hells pure and simple. 
The men who maintain them are the de- 
bauchera of the moral stamina of the 
Nation. They are often the insolent defiers 
of the laws of our States. Five of these 
rascals recently received their just desserts 
in the sentence imposed by the judges at 
Paterson, N. J. They each were fined 
$500 and sentenced to one year in the 
Penitentiary for maintaining the race-track 
at Clifton, in which betting was allowed. 
The extent to which the public morals 
have been debauched by this institution is 
something appalling. It has debauched 
the State itself. The sovereign law-mak¬ 
ing power has entered into partnership 
with the gamblers—pooled issues, so to 
speak, with them. It has thrown its 
cursed shadow across the press of the 
country. Our great newspapers are daily 
filled with the doings of these gamblers. 
It debauches the people by thousands and 
hundreds of thousands. There is scarcely 
a young man ruined in this town but that 
you can detect on his smirched character 
somewhere the smell of a horse jockey.—
