REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
BUTTER has declined one cent and trade 
Is dull, as most buyers stocked up earlier 
in the week. 
BEANS.—All grades of white beans are 
firm, but holders show no disposition to ad¬ 
vance prices further. Marrows are scarce 
and wanted at $2.40 per bushel. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is steady. The Ohio 
crop bulletin makes the yield for that 
State 10,139,187 bushels, and reports 38 per 
cent of the acreage sown abandoned. Corn 
is weak. There are some rumors of wet- 
weather damage, but not enough materially 
to affect the price. A small export trade 
in oats is reported. There are no new 
features in rye and barley. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the first 
three days of this week were 7,512 cattle, 
89 cows, 4,759 calves, 28,448 sheep, and 21,648 
hogs. Steers sold at $4.70 to $5.36 per 100 
pounds; bulls, $2.65 to $5, and cows, $1.40 to 
$3.25. Most of the milch cows brought from 
$30 to $50. Veal calves sold at $4 to $8; 
little calves, $3.75 to $4, and grassers, $2.25 
to $2.76. Trade in sheep was dull, common 
to choice going at $2.50 to $4, and lambs, 
$4.50 to $5.50. _
