Instances retailers had to pay wholesale all they 
could charge their customers. The average for com¬ 
mission milk, ie-qt. caus was $3.36, opening at $3 and 
closing at 4. The price paid farmers for Sept, was 2®

dissatisfaction at the practice of feeding beer grains 
to cows, and U will not be long belore the abuse will 
be resented. 
Poultry and u.\su:.—The market Is steady for 
nearly all kinds of dressed poultry, the cooler weath¬ 
er causing a better demand, ijuotailoii.s for turkeys 
are for mixed young and old; the demand for them is 
good. Chickens and fowls sell promptly. Spring 
ducks in good demand, old neglected. A lew Phila¬ 
delphia young gecr.e sold at tie. Western old geese 
sold at liKadiic. Squabs are selllug less freely because 
of the larger supply of game binds and are quoted

Grain.— The wheat market has lost its vitality and 
at the moment the outlook is dark and threatening. 
A number of failures at the West have cooled specula¬ 
tive ardor and spot um I visible supplies begin to re¬ 
gain their natural Inlluence In transactions. Ship¬ 
pers are sending grain products along with more 
regularity than they could or would while specula¬ 
tion was at lever heat. No item of grain exhibits 
the full high-priced confidence that lias ruled so 
long and the general tone of tho market is down¬ 
wards.

hardened to an extent that precludes some 
moderate concessions that might Have been ob¬ 
tained a week or so ago. NeverTu the history or the 
trade has the clip Keen 30 well marketed at this 
early ante as for this season, and the wool-grower 
seems determined to occupy tits full place in the In¬ 
creasing commerce of the country.
