NEW YORK, MAY IV, 1017. 
BT'TTER. 
Early in the week the market dereloped con- 
.sideraWe weakness and prices dropped from one 
to two cents on both creamery anif dairy, but 
later tliere was some recovery and a decidedly 
firmer tone to the business. The extreme prices 
prevailing for some time back alive lessened 
retail buying, but the trade has quickly (licked 
up when any material price concessions have 
been inad'e. .Irrivals are considered very mod¬ 
erate for this lime of year.

CHEESE. 
The (irlmary markets are higher, sales at 
t'tica, N. Y., being 7 to 8 cents above last year. 
Exiiort buying at seaboard points is active even 
at the high range of prices prevailing. Very 
little choice cheese is to be had under 27 cent.s 
wholesale. The situation in skims, especially 
the lower grades, is weaker with almost no ex¬ 
port demand.

EGGS. 
The receipts have been large, but a consid¬ 
erable (iroportion of the stock has not appeared 
in consumptive markets, being held up by ship- 
(lers’ price limits or going to warehouses ac¬ 
cording to (irevious arrangements. Prices re¬ 
main without material change, though nearby 
whites and checks of good quality are a little 
firmer. The current receipts of general gather¬ 
ings show a rather large mixture of under¬ 
grades. .Some of these are evidently incubators, 
others from ‘‘stolen" nests and others have 
been too long in stores or collectors’ hands. 
These inferior mixtures always make trouble, 
and in most cases such shii)ments wouhr have 
netted more had the undergrailes been ship[ied 
in sei)arate packages. It is a common belief 
that the high qualities will help sell the others, 
but the fact is that it works Just the other way, 
and whether the shii)i)er knows it or not he 
loses by making such mixtures, as well as run¬ 
ning the risk of getting into trouble with the 
Government or health authorities in case eggs 
below the quality prescribed for food purposes 
are shipped.

WOOL. 
The market Is in a somewhat excited posi¬ 
tion alt over the country. Mill demand is strong 
anil the foreign situation is encouraging to 
higher i)rices. In some (tarts of the Western 
producing sections contracting for the new cro[) 
has been checkcil because of tlie blgh price ideas 
of the producers. Choice clips in the West are 
being heliT for 55 cents or a little more. Re¬ 
cent business at Boston lias been: New York 
and Micliigau unwashed Delaine, .53 to 54 eents; 
half blood, .54 to 5.5: tliree-eightbs blood, til to

BEANS. 
Large Government contracts for dry beans are 
said to have been filled at somewhere aroiiml 17 
cents (ter pound. 1‘rices are now so high that 
sales for oriiinary family use are small, but 
beans are considered a staple army food ami 
will no donltt continue high so long as tlie war 
lasts. There is less probability of increased 
cro(is than with such standards as potatoes, and 
grain because a large inimber of amateur beau 
growiTs will fail to (trodm-e the good commer¬ 
cial grades demanded for army siqqtlies.

GRAIN. 
Wlieat s(ieculators, after forcing prices to 
outrageous heights, have evidently become 
friglitened at the results, which promised to 
eause Government interference that would make 
Their own house tumble down over their heads. 
New Y'ork has stopped giving out quotations on 
wheat, and Chicago did the same for a time, 
but later agreed on certain maximum figures, 
wdiich must not be exceeded in siteculatlve busi¬ 
ness. Later Government ero() reports on the 
wheat outlook are more favorable.
