MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The market during this week has been dull 
with somewhat lower prices for wheat, although 
other grains are a trifle higher. The cause of 
this is lighter export demand, especially for 
wheat, and higher ocean freight rates. In the 
middle of the week, the market became more ac¬ 
tive, but prices did not advance and business 
has been comparatively quiet. At the end of the 
week, wheat was much depressed again, al¬ 
though export trade was considerably better. 
Buckwheat has advanced considerably in price, 
and the demand is good. At the close of the 
week, barley was not so high-priced as earlier in 
the week, but trade is good. In Chicago, cash 
quotations are as follows: No. 3 Spring wheat, 
60*4 to 62*4c.; No. 2 red, 67>4c.; No. 2 corn, 33y t 
to 34c.; No. 2 oats, 26 to 27c.; No. 2 white oats, 
27 % to 28^c.; No. 2 rye, 5314c. 
The butter market has been very dull during 
the week, with prices considerably depressed, 
but at the end, the feeling in fancy fresh cream¬ 
ery is firm. The market closed the week in good 
shape. There is little change in cheese, the re¬ 
ceipts being moderate and promptly taken by 
the home trade. Almost nothing is being done 
by exporters. In Boston, butter is steady at 21 to 
21*4c. for northern, 20*/4 to 21c. for western; cheese 
firm at 10 to 10*4c. In Chicago, butter is weak at 
14 to 20c. for creamery, 13 to 18c. for dairy, and 
cheese steady at 8% to 10 l Ac. In Philadelphia, 
western creamery butter is steady at 21c., and 
prints at 22c. In St. Louis, creamery butter is 18 
to 22*4c. 
Receipts of live poultry have been moderate 
this week, and demand light. The result is 
lower prices and a weak feeling generally. Re¬ 
ceipts of dressed poultry have been excessive for 
everything except choice turkeys, which are 
scarce and held firmly. There is a large accumu¬ 
lation of fowls and chickens, as well as ducks 
and geese. Eggs are a trifle lower, still the mar¬ 
ket is steady and demand good.
