MARKETS 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK. 
Butter has dropped one-half cent and trade 
is slightly Improved. Egg market in very 
unsettled condition, new-laid stock scarce, but 
storage and under grades offered urgently. 
Hop business is dull both in the East and on 
the Pacific coast. The market in Europe is 
very firm and advancing. Potato market is 
a trifle stronger, though no improvement in 
prices is noted.
