84o 
MARKETS. 
BEVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
THE HOP TRADE Is slow both here 
and on the Pacific Coast. The recent 
activity in the West seems to have ceased, 
and the stocks held in that section are 
reported to be very much reduced. The 
highest figures named are 20 to 21 cents for 
New York State 1900 choice. 
BUTTER.—Extras are up one cent from 
last report. Choice June creamery is 
rather scarce, and some holders are ask¬ 
ing rates above quotations. Fewer com¬ 
plaints are made of cold-weather defects 
in western goods. The lower grades of 
factory butter are going slowly. 
THE CHEESE MARKET is firm. The 
Boards of Trade throughout the producing 
sections are mostly closed for the season, 
and the stocks at these points are small. 
The holdings of fancy cheese in the dis¬ 
tributing centers are not large. Skims of 
anything but the choicest grades are dull. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for week ending 
December 6 were: 14,670 cattle, 169 cows, 
6,074 calves, 45,498 sheep and 45,205 hogs. 
Native steers sold at $4 to $5.60; oxen and 
stags, $2.25 to $4.90; bulls, $2.25 to $3.60; 
and cows, $1.40 to $3.55. Veal calves 
brought $5 to 8, and grassers, $2.25 to 
$2.75. Sheep sold at $2.50 to $4.25; and 
lambs, $5.12% to $6.
