GRAIN 
Wheat  has  been  lower,  partly  because 
of  slackened  export  demand.  Damage  to 
Winter  wheat  from  drought  in  the  South¬ 
west  and  lack  of  snow  protection  in  parts 
of  Illinois  and  adjoining  States  is  report¬ 
ed.  Corn  slightly  higher.  The  surplus 
for  export  from  Argentina  is  said  to  be 
only  90, 000, 000  bushels,  which  is  70,- 
000,000  less  than  for  the  past  year.

here  to  some  extent,  tending  to  equalize 
the  prices.  Boston  is  nearly  up  to  the 
New  York  level  now.  Extra  Northern

ing  readily  at  30c.  Dairy  prints,  sec¬

GOOD  DEMAND  FOR  EGGS 
Eggs  are  cleaning  up  well  although 
arrivals  show  a  decided  increase.  Said 
a  well-known  receiver:  “Consumption 
seems  to  be  equal  to  production.  We 
have  lower  prices  and  are  getting  good 
eggs.  People  eat  eggs  freely  in  Spring 
as  a  matter  of  habit  just  as  they  take 
Spring  medicine.  The  product  is  not 
heavy  as  yet,  owing  to  the  unusually  se¬ 
vere  weather  all  over  the  northern  pro¬ 
ducing  territory.”  Said  another  dealer: 
“Fresh  eggs  are  rather  high  for  the  sea¬ 
son.  and  not  much  buying  for  cold  stor¬ 
age  has  taken  place.  Current  receipts 
are  used  to  satisfy  the  present  demand, 
and  it  takes  that  many  eggs  away  from 
t he  stock  available  for  storage.  It  looks 
as  though  storage  eggs  after  they  once 
start  would  come  in  with  a  rush.  It 
may  be  that  prices  will  start  high,  and 
dealers  may  buy  them  and  get  stuck 
again  this  year  as  they  did  last  year.” 
Although  prices  have  continued  firm,  it 
is  apparent  that  no  great  increase  in  the 
supply  could  take  place  without  causing 
the  market  to  weaken.  Nearby  hennery 
stock  is  quoted  at  27c.  Gathered  eggs. 
Northern,  24  to  26c.  These  are  mostly 
from  country  dealers,  who  collect  eggs 
from  the  farmers,  and  such  mixed  lots 
are  not  considered  so  reliable  as  direct 
consignments  from  known  producers. 
POULTRY  BUSINESS  LIGHT 
Demand  for  poultry  has  been  light,  as 
is  usual  at  this  time  of  year,  and  re¬ 
ceipts,  on  the  other  hand,  were  rather 
huger  than  usual.  Prices  have  held  very 
well  at  about  recent  levels.  Northern 
and  eastern  fowls,  good  and  choice,  sell 
at  18  to  20c;  chickens,  13  to  25c;  broil¬ 
ers,  25  to  30e.  Live  poultry  is  in  light 
supply  and  ruther  good  demand.  Large, 
heavy  fowls  have  sold  up  to  20c,  and  the 
range  has  been  from  that  down  to  18c. 
Chickens  at  this  season  are  mostly  stunt¬ 
ed  and  staggy,  and  bring  only  16  to  18c. 
APPLES  SELLING  WELL 
Demand  for  apples  is  fairly  good.  The 
slight  improvement  noted  last  week  has 
been  maintained.  Good  fresh  packed  Bald¬ 
wins,  No.  1,  range  from  $1.75  to  $2.50. 
Some  choice  lots  from  New  York  State 
brought  about  $3.  Fancy  cold  storage  Bald¬ 
wins  sell  ap  to  $4.  but  most  lots  nearer  $3. 
Occasional  lots  of  cellar  stored  Russets 
are  seen — few  of  them  good  enough  to 
bring  more  than  $2.  A  few  Maine 
Starks  range  from  $2  to  $2.50.  The  ex¬ 
port  apple  market  is  about  over  because 
steamer  space  is  scarce.  The  export 
market  has  averaged  well.  The  first  of 
the  season  nets  in  Boston  went  as  low 
as  $2.  Lately  they  have  averaged  as 
high  as  $4.25.  They  have  averaged  $1.50 
better  than  at  the  first  of  the  season. 
The  exports  from  Boston  alone  appear 
to  he  almost  as  large  as  those  of  last 
year.  The  reason  is  that  a  large  num¬ 
ber  of  box  shipments  from  the  West  went 
through  Boston  and  were  included  in  the 
figures,  reckoning  three  boxes  equal  to 
one  barrel.  The  Boston  total  was  378,- 
OOo  compared  with  428,  624  barrels  the 
preceding  year. 
VEGETABLE  TRADE  UNEVEN 
Potato  trade  has  been  quiet,  receipts 
moderate,  and  shipments  interfered  with 
by  weather.  The  price  has  held  closely 
uiOUnd  $2.50  per  two-bushel  bag  in  large  Molding  Deviled  Eggs 
lots  at  the  freight  yard.  Onion  market  stiffenjn9  Meringua 
has  been  a  little  weaker  on  account  of  Two"  winter  "Vet 
larger  receipts.  Cabbages  have  advanced 
and  best  lots  can  hardly  be  bought  lower  misci 
than  $1.50.  Other  stored  vegetables  hold  ATh/ar™edw»L/crl11  ,L
