THE MARKETS. 
PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS. 
New YORK, Saturday, Feb. 8,1879. 
Beans and Peas.—B eans have sold sllRhtly bet¬

through. Holders thought ihntprtce* hud touched 
bottotu, but with ihe liberal offering, especially of 
low class mediums, further concessions will proba¬ 
bly occur belure a flrtu btae Is reached. Supply of

Receipts of beaus for week, 16,721 bushels; exports, 
900 bbls. 
Beeswax—H as been offered lower on account of 
fair supplies and a slow demand. Western and 
Southern quoted 25(4260. 
Exports, past week. 361 lbs. 
Butter.— The market is not generally active, and 
heavy receipts of commission state cause some de¬ 
pression in all hut selections and tine table. Ship¬ 
pers continue to encourage holders, taking good 
sound mixed lots at a range of 10426c.. though the 
latter Is extreme. There remains a falr'ir long sea¬ 
son to handle the crop, and unless the Interior re¬ 
serves are far ahead of estimates, various breaks In 
rates are not anticipated. At the moment supplies 
are somewhat pressing, and consignee* should not 
be limited or restricted In their method of move¬ 
ment by owners’ orders. Local merits of quality do 
not always go up to commercial standards at points 
where receipts concentrate, una ut as ate a date as 
tills responsible sellers’ Judgment should be sub¬ 
mitted to. Western butter is also largely Included 
In tho receipt*, and prices are quoted as high as they 
Will bear. Buyers of sound parcels divide their 
attention more than usual between Western and 
State, us In the latter good bargain* are offering In 
dallies. Roll butler ties only a nominal position. 
,state full creamery turns out well this Henson, but. 
as usual. Western with heavier grain feeding Is 
quoted the highest.

these have no other outlet than to local manufactur¬ 
ers. One reason for the prolonged activity of Ihe 
market this year Is the excellent quality of most 
fur*, the season having been so favorable to fur
