MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
BKVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The grain markets have been unsettled during 
the week, though far firmer than those of the 
preceding week, which the Journal of Commerce 
characterized as the wildest on record. The high 
prices have had the effect of increasing ship¬ 
ments, especially of wheat, but export trade has 
been slow, as the markets on the other side were 
well tilled up, and were waiting for more settled 
markets here. At the end of the week, the mar¬ 
ket was more active and prices higher with a 
little more demand from the Continent. Leiter is 
reported to be buying all the July wheat offered 
in Chicago, which tends to raise prices. July 
contracts will be filled with new wheat. Corn is 
doing better because the continued wet and cold 
weather has been unfavorable for the new crop. 
Dairy markets are very discouraging, with 
milk at two cents, best Elgin creamery butter at 
15 cents, and cheese prices still lower. Still the 
butter market was well cleaned up at the end of 
the week, hence was firm. Markets of other 
cities were reported as follows: Boston.—Butter 
quiet; northern 16c.; western, 15*4 to 16c.; imita¬ 
tion, 14 to 1454c.; ladles, 1354c. Cheese quiet; 
northern, 9c.; western, 854 to 9c. Chicago.—But¬ 
ter market steady ; creameries, 12 to 15c.; dairies, 
12 to 13c. Cheese steady; creameries, 9 to 9kfc. 
Philadelphia. — Butter steady; fancy western 
creamery, 15 to J5)£c.; do. prints, 16c. Cheese 
easier; New York full cream, fancy, 854 to 9c.; 
fair to choice, 7)4 to 8J4c.; fancy, new, 7%c.; fair 
to choice, 7 to 754c. St. Louis.—Butter weak; 
creamery, 14 to 16c.; dairy 10 to 14c.

This is a handsome album containing 
50 photographic views of noted places in
