MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The grain markets were very irregular early 
in the week, and quiet under the existing uncer¬ 
tainty as to what action the Government would 
take in relation to Spain. Domestic trade was 
practically at a standstill, but export trade con¬ 
tinued good. The export sales at this port for the 
week ending Tuesday, were as follows: Wheat, 
3,550,000 bushels; corn, 6,280,000 bushels; oats, 
2 , 000,000 bushels; rye 896,000 bushels, a grand 
total of 12,726,000 bushels. This is said to be the 
largest week’s business at New York for many 
years. The export trade is largely responsible 
for advanced prices, though there are reports of 
injury to California wheat from heat. The ex¬ 
port demand has been not only sustained but 
increased to the end of the week. The bean 
market is stronger and prices higher. 
The poultry market is weak, with large accu¬ 
mulations of both live and dressed. Many of the 
arrivals of the latter are of poor quality. Spring 
ducks from Long Island have made their appear¬ 
ance, but are not bringing very high prices for 
first arrivals. The market for broilers shows less 
strength. Receipts of dressed calves and lambs 
have not been heavy, and choice qualities bring 
full prices. Receipts of eggs have been lighter, 
and prices have advanced for all grades. Duck 
and goose eggs are dull, and prices for these tend 
downward. 
The butter market has taken a drop, nearly 
back to former low prices. Still arrivals are 
pretty well cleaned up, and the market is in good 
shape. The cheese market is growing firmer, 
and prices have advanced as those for butter have 
gone down. The foreign demand is increasing. 
Receipts of old potatoes are not large, and the 
market for such is firm at somewhat higher 
prices. There is, also, a good demand for new 
potatoes, and the market is firm. Most fresh 
vegetables are in good demand for best quali¬ 
ties, and sell readily at full quotations. New 
southern vegetables are rapidly taking the place 
of the old stock.
