BT7TTBR. 
Butter  supply  is  not  excessive.  Qual¬ 
ity  is  fair.  There  is  only  moderate  buy¬ 
ing  for  storage.  The  market  holds  at 
31  cents  for  best  northern  tub  creamery. 
EGG  VALUES  FIKM. 
The  chief  features  of  the  egg  market 
are  a  decline  in  shipments  and  a  larg¬ 
er  proportion  of  doubtful  quality.  Prices 
hold  about  steady,  at  28  cents  for  near¬ 
by  hennery;  2G  to  27  for  eastern  extra: 
24  cents  for  prime  western  firsts,  and 
23 l/j  to  24  cents  for  storage  packed  firsts. 
Said  a  Chatham  Street  dealer:  "Hen¬ 
nery  eggs  are  firm  in  price,  western 
stock  shows  considerable  damage  from 
heat,  creating  better  demand  for  fancy 
and  nearby  stock.  These  are  none  too 
plentiful  and  are  being  piclccd  up  rap¬ 
idly.”  A  South  Market  Street  dealer 
laments  the  receipt  of  a  shipment  of 
duck  eggs.  "I  have  been  all  over  the 
market  district,”  he  said,  "and  can’t  get 
an  offer,  not  even  20  cents.  Duck  eggs 
are  really  wanted  only  at  Easter,  and 
sometimes  then  we  get  40  to  50  cents  for 
them.  Nobody  wants  (hem  now.  The 
flavor  is  peculiar,  they  will  not  do  for 
cooking.” 
POULTRY  HIGH. 
Arrivals,  both  live  and  dressed,  are  in¬ 
creasing,  but  are  not  yet  coining  fast 
enough  to  offset  prices.  One  of  the  larg¬ 
est  buyers  is  reported  shipping  all  he 
can  get  t<>  New  York  where  ii  seems  pos¬ 
sible  to  dispose  of  it.  readily  even  at  the 
high  level  prevailing.  Values  are  very 
firm  here  although  broilers  are  a  little 
easier  owing  to  increasing  receipts  as  the 
season  advances.  Said  S.  B.  Burr  & 
Co. :  "There  is  a  strong,  active,  market 
in  live  poultry  at  1!)  ami  20  cents  for 
fowls,  12  to  15  cents  for  roosters,  2.2  to 
25  cents  for  1*4  to  2-lb.  broilers,  18  to 
20  cents  for  ducks.  There  are  very  few 
roasters.  They  are  late  Fall  chickens, 
well  fed  and  carefully  fattened,  and  they 
bring  25  to  2N  cents  a  pound,  live  weight. 
Dressed  poultry  is  22  to  23  cents  for 
fancy  fowl.  20  to  22  for  medium,  40  to 
45  for'  broib-rs.  17  for  old  roosters.” 
POTATO  rim  ES  STRONG. 
Maine  Green  Mountain,  $2.05  per  2- 
hushel  bag,  or  $1.25  per  bu.  in  bulk. 
Said  a  well  known  dealer:  "Tile  market 
has  improved  in  tone,  although  tin*  high¬ 
er  level  "f  prices  lately  has  checked  de¬ 
mand.  The  arrival  of  sprouted  stock  has 
caused  a  number  of  rejections  lately.” 
CRAIN  A  LITTLE  LOWER. 
While  the  wholesale  and  speculative 
grain  markets  have  tended  lower  much  of 
the  time  lately,  many  of  the  feeds  have 
failed  to  respond  by  a  like  decline,  or 
have  even  advanced.  Several  dealers  ex¬ 
plained  this  along  the  lines  of  the  follow¬ 
ing  by  if.  E.  Soper  &  Co.:  "The  mill 
feeds  and  by-products  do  not  follow  the 
general  grain  market.  When  grain  is 
cheap,  the  mills  buy  freely,  operate  on 
full  capacity  and  turn  out  a  large  sup¬ 
ply  of  bran,  middlings,  hominy,  etc., 
which  must  lie  sold.  Tim  increased  suit- 
ply  may  even  force  down  the  price,  al¬ 
though  by  the  time  this  effect  takes  place 
the  grain  market  may  be  higher.  The 
cottonseed  and  linseed  products  are  a 
class  by  themselves  and  do  not  always 
sell  in  the  same  relation  to  each  other 
or  to  the  rest  of  the  marker.  It  would 
pay  feeders  to  study  these  things,  but  us 
a  rule  farmers  are  poor  buyers.  Our  cus¬ 
tomers  are  retail  dealers,  and  they  watch 
the  market.  If  our  prices  did  not  fol¬ 
low  the  changes  closely  we  should  lose 
their  trade,  but  the  farmer  often  merely 
asks  his  grain  dealer,  ‘How  much  is  feed 
today?’  and  lets  it  go  at  that.  Some 
country  dealers  follow  the  big  markets, 
but  many  do  not.  If  these  lust  men¬ 
tioned  make  a  large  purchase  whe'n  the 
market  is  going  down  the  food  users  have 
to  pay  the  penalty  as  long  as  it  lasts. 
If  buyers  watched  more  closely,  they 
would  know  the  situation  and  would  tele¬ 
phone  some  other  dealer  for  quotation.” 
The  Carlot  market  is  quoted  at,  bran 
$21;  cottonseed  $54;  linseed  $51.50; 
hominy  $50  per  ton;  comment  $1.57  per 
bag. 
The  Easton.  Massachusetts,  Farmers’ 
t’lub  distributed  its  first  carload  of  grain 
on  the  cooperative  plan  May  27.  The 
club  is  pleased  with  the  experiment  and 
it  plans  to  enlarge  the  business.  Mays 
the  manager:  "The  greatest  opposition 
comes  from  the  retailers  on  account  of 
which  some  wholesalers  refuse  to  quote 
us  prices.” 
HAY  MARKET  STEADY. 
Ilay  is  in  light  receipts  and  demand 
rather  dull,  yet  prices  hold  well  at  a 
level  of  $30  for  No.  1;  Alfalfa  hay  $28. 
and  $17  to  $20  for  clover,  mixed  and 
stock  bay.  Said  Eddy  &  Co. :  "The  now 
crop  will  hi1  late  this  season,  but  abund¬ 
ant.  with  sufficient  moisture  in  most  pro¬ 
ducing  sections.” 
LIVE  STOCK  AND  MEATS. 
Prices  of  live  stock  at  Brighton  and 
Watertown  hold  about  as  last  quoted, 
except  bogs,  which  seem  to  be  depressed 
out  of  line  with  the  dressed  pork  mar¬ 
ket,  prices  of  live  hugs  showing  about 
one-fourth  cent  decline.  Dressed  veal 
holds  at  15  cents  for  choice  lots.  a.  i*.  y.
