MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The one word, ‘dull ”, about expresses the con¬ 
dition of the grain markets during the entire 
week, although prices seem to have been well 
sustained. The reason for this is largely the con¬ 
dition of uncertainty which has prevailed. There 
are rumors of wars in various parts of the world, 
and this has had a tendency to unsettle markets 
and business of all kinds. About the middle of 
the week, there was a little more export demand, 
and the Chicago speculators .were again more 
active, so that a little more was doing, especially 
in wheat. At the close of the week, however, the 
export demand was smaller, and the speculators 
seemed to be taking a rest. Receipts, however, 
have been lighter, and the crop news is not such 
as to cause any change in the market. Prices 
have been well sustained. The corn market is 
firmer because of later deliveries and a lower 
crop estimate. There is a little special trading 
in oats: sales have been dull. The rye market is 
firm .at advanced prices, and there have been 
buyers here for both Dutch and French markets. 
There is almost nothing doing in barley, although 
western reports are of higher prices. Grain 
speculators are always holding off about the 
time the Government crop report is expected, 
because they wish to see what this will be, and it 
influences trade largely. 
Butter prices are slightly lower than one week 
ago, as the butter supply has been considerably 
increased, and trade has been rather slow. There 
is a little export demand, but not enough to in¬ 
fluence the market to any great extent. The 
home demand is light. Fine new, State dairy 
butter is not very plentiful, and the demand is 
fairly good. The cheese market is very dull, as 
the receipts have been fair and demand small. 
Exporters are doing very little. Boston reports 
butter market linn with northern creamery 22 
cents, western 20(4 to “21. imitation 15 to 15*4, and 
ladles H; cheese firm at 8*/» to 9. In the Chicago 
market, creameries were selling at 13 to 19, 
dairies at 11 to 17, and cheese at 8 to 8 'A- Phila¬ 
delphia reported butter market easier with fancy 
western creameries at 20(4 and prints at 22. 
Cheese quiet with New York fancy full cream 
cheese at 8(4. fair to good at 7*4 to 8(4- St. Louis 
butter market was quiet with creamery l6to 20(4, 
dairy 9 to 16. 
The poultry market continues dull, especially 
for dressed poultry. The mild weather has been 
unfavorable for trade. A large part of the re¬ 
ceipts are not of first quality. There is a light 
supply of fresh-killed turkeys, and such sell well, 
but not at high prices. There is a lighter sup¬ 
ply of capons, and the choice grades are held 
steadier. There has been a heavier trade in live 
poultry, and all grades are firm except ducks 
and geese, of which there is an accumulation. 
Arrivals of eggs have been very heavy, and the 
price has declined considerably. A larger part 
of the arrivals are from the West and South. 
Duck eggs seem to be well sustained. Chicago 
reports fresh eggs at 10 cents, Cincinnati at 8(4. 
Philadelphia at 11, and St. Louis at 8Ji- 
Receipts of apples have not been excessive, 
hut there is considerable stock on hand, and 
trade is dull, although there is little change in 
prices. Cranberries are most in demand of any 
fruit, and the offerings are light. There are a 
few Florida oranges, and those which are choice 
bring extreme prices. Californias are doing 
slightly better, and the supply is good. Florida 
strawberries keep up well, as the supply of 
choice fruit is not large. 
Receipts of potatoes are fair, the demand good, 
and the market firm at somewhat higher prices. 
Bermuda is sending quite a supply. There is a 
large accumulation of onions, quality generally 
poor, and the market weak with outside quota¬ 
tions extreme. In other vegetables, there is a 
moderate supply, especially of the best quality, 
and the market is good at fair prices.
