The market is soiiiewhnt stronger, partly owing 
to export l)iiylng and speeulation. I.oeal trade i.s 
fair. The better grades of liotli dairy and creain- 
cry are one cent liigbcr. 
I'uckiiig slock

LOGS. 
The market is six to 10 cents 
lower on 
most 
fresh grades. Man.v Hocks that were laying only 
in to ir> per cent, have Jiimiied to S.") or 4<t per 
i-eiit. There will doubtless be cold snaps to 
check production somewhat, but the Spring lay¬ 
ing has started, and it is reasonable to expect an 
easier market for some time. A strong |)rlce 
feature is the small holding of storage eggs as 
compared with other years.

WOOL.

recent market featurt* lias been tlie release of a 
considerable quantity of Australian wool. It is 
not yet known just how this wool will grade, 
hut it Is expected to be onl.v medium anil more

VEfi ETA ISLES. 
The fJovernment report puts holdings of jiota- 
toes at 44 jier cent, less than at the same time 
last year, 6.5 jier cent, less than two years ago, 
and 54 per cent, under the live-year average. 
Prices here are extremely hlgli, in .some case . .fT 
per barrel. Consuni]ition Is light, but arrivals 
of sound stock are so small that liolders are able 
to keep the market at a high level. Cabbage re¬ 
mains at aiioiit last week’s jirices, though some 
sales of liest Lanisli have been a little liigtier. 
New receipts from tiie South have been small, 
going readily at $3 to $4 jier barrel or crate 
when sound. Onions higher. String Is-aiis and 
peas largely poor. S|ilnaeh, kale and ordinary 
lettui-e lower. The wholesale coiKfemnlng of 
slightly damaged fruits and vegetables by va¬ 
rious insiiectors would be ridiculous if it were 
not such criiiiinal waste. Meats should be closely 
guarded, as they may be doctored with clieinl- 
cals and sold us food, even tliough unwhole¬ 
some. Hut no one will eat decayed fruit or 
vegetaldes, and no restaurant cook can Ux them 
U|i into edilde hasli. There woubf be no menace 
to henitli in letting people buy specked apples or 
vegetables at low prices and saving the part 
that is good. 'Hie dealers ought to be jwrniltted 
and encouraged to sort over such things instead 
of being taken to court and lined $50 because 
they chanced to have unsound fruit or vege- 
tableis in iiossession. Eormerly it was the 
jiractlce of comnilssion houses to sort over any 
of these things when necessary, and only the 
actually worthless was tlirown away, but after 
being terrorized and lined for d'oing what they 
know is justice to themselves and their shippers’ 
demand, it is not strange tliat tliey take the 
easiest plan and let the inspector have bis own 
way, even though they know it is pure graft on 
his part.
