bbls. whisky, 1,115 bales wool, 2M do. hops. 2,333 hluls. 
tobacco, 3,005 boxes and cases tobacco, 1,0*5 bags pea¬ 
nuts. 
Beans-Are still very difficult to sell, especially 
mediums, and for this description buyers generally 
obtain enough to carry them along at inside prices. 
Marrowfats being scarce, are not forced on the mar¬ 
ket, although there is a very limited sale. We quote: 
Beans—Kidney, V bush., #2.40® 3.50 : pea, prime

Breswax. -There has been an unusually good 
export demand for this time of the year, and prices 
are stronger. For Southern 37Me. has been obtained, 
and the market doses fair at 30g)8Tc<, for Western 
and Southern. 
Broom Corn.—Choice green hurl in a small way, 
bring 16e.; mixed, 13®15c.; common, 11013c, Brooms 
are quoted at $3.7504.50 per dozen for Shaker. Other 
makes. $2.25®3 for ordinary; $5.50 and $4.60 for heavy 
and $506 for fancy. 
Butter.—The light yield of butter this spring, has 
been particularly noticeable during the past week. 
Stock hardly reaches the collars before it, meets a 
customer either for local use or to ship East. The 
latter trade, however, will not be of long duration, 
as home made will soon supply a portion of N. E. 
wants. Prices lire higher, but the tone of retail trade 
will not aomit of holding for prices that prevent 
market men and grocers from turning their goods at 
4 ()© 45 c. for good table grades and common at 35c. 
White butter is slow of sale, but takes the prece¬ 
dence of country yellow. Grass butter is in fail- 
supply from Ohio, and some genuine from this State 
Is arriving.

Cheese- The business this week represents a 
steady, legitimate inquiry. Shippers are disposed to 
operate In good lines, which the new arrivals do not 
induce. In fact, a deal of the stock coming in is com¬ 
posed of hard, skitumed cheese that is not wanted, 
and Is barely salable. Old cheese is very easily con¬ 
trolled, and there Is very little offering to exporters, 
as the trade manage to obtain a fractional advance 
in dealing out to the retail trade. The entile is down 
at the close to 75s., but exerts no unfavorable influ¬ 
ence in view of the above facts. The urrivuls are in¬ 
creasing, and In the event of a better assortment, a 
more satisfactory business would result, as a fair 
number of orders have yet to be tilled. Prices 
throughout show some improvement, relatively high¬ 
er on the flue grados. Fine now factories sell at 16® 
16.MC., and goods of fair quality, 12012 ) 40 . Some old 
English dairy has been tnUon to go abroad.

Dried Fruits.- Apples sell a little better, tliede- 
innnd mainly for prime, which are scarce. Peeled 
peachos are in small stock, especially choice quali¬ 
ties, aud prices are running up. Unpeeled are in 
good stock, but selling «. little better. To move a 
large lot concessions would have to be made. Apples,

Eggs.—Smaller arrivals has given an opportunity 
to work off the accumulated supplies, and at the 
close the trade are working on fresh receipts, which 
begin to fall off, and have not beeu burdensome, ia 
view of the fuet that a few speculators are In the 
market on the turn of prices. Some lot# that have 
been put up poorly have sold us low as 10 , t3®13o. 
Good marks at the close will bring l®, 18>jc., for State 
and Western and lots from near points 19020c. 
Flour.—The market for State and Western grades 
has been decidedly in thescller* favor, with an ad¬ 
vance of ten and twenty cent#. Choice lines of 
extras meel with the most attention for shipment, 
and with a light stock lire held with the most confl¬ 
uence. The receipts am large, but are quickly 
absorbed by the sales. We quote at $4.9505.15 for 
superfine State; $5.20®5.35 for common extra 
do.; $5.4005.50 for good to choice do.; $5.5505.95

Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Ac.; $5,2005.35 for extra do., 
aud $5.4000,00 for choice extra do., including ship¬ 
ping brands of round hoop Ohio at $5.2506.35, and 
trade brands of do, at $5.6000.30; good to choice 
white wheat extras at $6.7036.50; St. Louis at $5.75 
@6 for common to fuir extras, and $0.1003.25 for good 
to choice. Southern is flrmer and more uetive at 
$606.75 for extras, and $6.8009.70 for good to cholee. 
llye flour is selling slowly at $4.50®5.60 for the range 
of qualities. Coru meal ia steadily held; Brandy¬ 
wine sold from store at $5.75, 
Fresh Fruits. —Good qualities ot russets are 
scarce, aud there hits been a good demand for sound 
parcels of 500 bbls. in a lot at $5. Wo quote russets, 
$4.5005; common, $2®3; damaged, $1. Southern 
strawberries arrive regularly, with a consignment 
from Norfolk to-day. Charleston fruit is bringing 
00@75c. per quart; Norfolk, 75@90o. do. Some of our 
fruit informants, who have recently returned from a 
tour through Delaware, speak of the orchards as be¬ 
ing in a most promising and thrifty condition, and 
this year wo shall probably have the remarkable 
event of a full crop following the heavy yield of a 
previous year, Hivor apple orchards are also reported 
us bearing extraordinary indications of a large crop. 
Grain,—The market for wheat has been active, 
to meet shipper*# want.#, anil with light supplies 
prices are higher. Spring grades are the most 
sought after. We quote ut $1,12@1.16 for No. 3 
spring; $14901.23 f Dr No, 2 Spring; $1.28@t.30 for No. 
1 spring; $1,3201.34 for winter red Western ; $1.34®1.35

$1.4501.60 for white Canada; white .Michigan, at $1.50 
® 1 . 6 S; amber Kentucky and Tennessee at $ 1 . 35 ® 1 . 37 .

trade for local use, We quote at. $1.13®1.10 for 
new Western mixed ; $1.16 for uldWesturu mixed, in

for shipping hay, fliaft.20for good to prime retail. 
Long Rye Straw $101.05; short do., 60085c.; oat, 
60066c. 
Hop**. — There Is no especial feature to note. 
Shippers are taking a few small lots, mainly to till 
pressing orders and generally they have to meet the 
Tiow# of holders. We quote prime State at 20c. 
Provisions.—There lias been a lull in mess pork 
for most of the week and prices have settled to 
about $29029.12)4 for future and $29\ for spot. These, 
however, are only nominal values. Very few lots 
are offering and In the advent of a resumption of 
business It Is thought there will bean approach to 
the declining rates of last week. Prime moss Is In 
good demand at $26 and small sales to the govern¬ 
ment ut $26.10. Clear pork has sold at, $32.25. Beef Is

THE COUNTRY CHEESE MARKET. 
Thadf. was brisk at. the Little Falls market for the 
week ending May I4t.h anil prices were a trifle better 
than for the previous week. The delivery of farm 
dairies was between WXlaud iXIOboxes, much of it in¬ 
ferior or bsdly skimmed The better grades sold for 
lac. and the poorer sorts from 9c. to Ue. according to 
quality. 
There was quite a number of fuctorynien present 
and nearly l,6tin boxes were sold. The highest figure 
reached for fancy lots was 17c. Tito range of prices 
for the bulk of factory make run from (4o. to 10-ve, 
For "hay cheese" the sales this week are considered 
quite satisfactory. 
The delivery of butter was light—something less 
than 100 tubs—and the quality not by any means 
“fancy." The range of prices was from 24c. to Stic, 
but. a, choice article would have brought a trifle more 
money. 
The herds are now beginning to get n. little grass 
and by another week the quality of butter, tt ts ex¬ 
pected, will be Improved. 
Wo have advices from abroad to the last week In 
April. In London t barn was a good sale of American 
rbeese at Improved rates. < luv correspondent quotes

LIVE STOCK MARKETS. 
New Yoke, May 12. 1870. 
It is not often that live stock rules so steady, at 
high prices, for so long a. time With increased re¬ 
ceipts of tho leading kinds, the markets arc very 
active, and prices fully as strong us they were ono 
week ago, hogs excepted. Receipts are :
