THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
January 6 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW ARB OUTLOOK. 
FRUITS.—Receipts of apples are light, 
but there Is quite a stock on hand, and 
trade Is moderate. There Is but little 
business in grapes. The market for cran¬ 
berries shows a firmer tone. 
BEANS.—Receipts are light, and there Is 
but little promise of export trade. Most 
of the jobbers are not Inclined to stock up 
at present, and buying Is confined mainly 
to small lots to keep up an assortment. 
VEGETABLES.—Irish potatoes are in 
good demand; sweets active and higher, 
with light offerings. Choice onions sell 
well. Cabbages are scarce and high. 
Spinach is scarce. A few barrels from 
Baltimore sold at J1.50 to $2. 
EGGS.—Arrivals are not heavy, and 
there has been a fairly close clearance of 
fresh goods of late, but receivers are of the 
opinion that any material increase in the 
supply will cause a break- in prices, and 
indications of larger shipments on the way 
have given the market a weaker tone. 
BUTTER.—The market is very firm. Sup¬ 
plies are coming forward slowly, and the 
demand is sufficient to take all of the offer¬ 
ings. A few exceptional lots of western 
creamery sold for 27% cents, but there is 
no general disposition to advance previous 
quotations. Dairy half-firkins are in mod¬ 
erate supply and firmly held at 25 cents. 
June creamery is firm, and fresh factory 
quiet. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is firm and a shade 
higher. Passage wheat decreased 2,400,000 
bushels. This leaves only 19,600,000 bushels 
afloat, which is the lowest record for this 
season for many years. Corn is in heavy 
demand by feeders, and the results of thid 
are shown in the increased average in 
weight of cattle received at the Chicago 
market the past month. Trade in oats is 
light and prices fairly steady. Barley is 
in better demand, both for feeding and 
malting. Buckwheat is scarce and high.
