Boston Produce Market.

MoyDAr November ~, 1873.
,BuTTEk-The huttdr market has been very quiet
since our last report and all kinds, except the finest
all and lowest grades, have accumulated Strictly
line still commands 3515' per Do in lots bnt Il there
much more coming in, prices would be likely 10
decline. Straight dairies which sold readily week
~ two ago at 3}H3c slow Of sale at 32c and
4 the present dulncss lasts many days longer, we
poet further easing 81 10 price. One good feature
Of tho market s the scarcity Ct inferior butter which,
last year, 10 very large stock For several weeks
past bakers have been paying 2c per 10 and for
most Of what thoy used.
CHEEsE-Llke almost everything else, cheese con.
tinucs dull and has iufthur eased of. We cannot
quote the best factory higher than iic per 10 In lots
and medium qualities at .iQl3c Dealers, who last
year would think nothing OF buying q carload at
time, now conlne their purchases to ave and ten
boxes. The export trade Is demoraliEed by the low
price ofexchange and gold and the prospect at pres
ent Is any thing but encouraging for cheese manuic-
turets This depression in cheese comes eNpcctedly
and will, no doubt, be q great disappointment to
those who were looking for a rise.
BEANS-incrUased eccipts in mediums have tended
70 decline in price, and $3.50 per bush is now the
highest we can quote for the choicest lots. some sales
have been made az 25 aud IL is the opinion Of some
receivers that SIS VIII be an extreme price 10
week or two. Pea beans have aso eased or and s275
por bush is tho ruling price, except for extra lots Of
hand-peked, which might be sold at pc por bush
more. lcllow-oyes arc In limited supply, and re-
POrArOES-The New York papers are beginning
70 talk about tho rot In Peach Blows but here there
ts nothing said ahoutt. The market has ruled steady
since our last Mt 61a6io por bush for Jackson Whites
and 70iD75c for Early Rose.
-Dho--olilcllg lltah t--e nave leon et4lhE We'll
at 3aa3 ic per doz but the supply Of Western has In
creased aud prices are Inclined 10 OF at the
close, ilc being the CHEST hear for round lots.
HAi-There seems 20 be a little easier feeling IN
The hay market, with sales Of choice Eastern and
Northern at p pertOn, and Inferior grades at lower
range. Rye straw has been sold at sliH26 per ton.
HOPS Brewers seem determined not to pay higher
prices for hops. The hi chest they willing 10 pay
( i5o per 10, and most Of the sales range from that
P0ULTRY-Thero has beeu great demand for
poultry the palt week, and prices have boen fairly
maintained. Some poor lots were closes out at con
cessons but the range for choee dressed turkeys and
chickens has bcou at 20H1lc per 10. Mixed lots of
fowls sold az sa20e and down as low as 5c, on sat
urday last From this time forward poultry will be
In good demand here, and lots ~ nice order will al
ways command fair prices.
NOOL-This article, like most kinds Of morchan-
disc, continues depressed aud sales only be made
al low ngures. Some 2ilpnl lbs Ohio and Peuusyl-
yania necces have been forced on at f0ioc, aud Mich
gan and Wisconsin leeees at i2i0iGe per H. The
fact that the Manchester mills have given up the
uileiure Of delanes has thrown about sl0 0D lbs OF
delaino and comhiug wool on the market, and this
grade has declined suuc per 10 from the highest point.
The article cannot now be quoted at over 50aj2c,
The failure Of the Atlantic Alils at Providence, also
reduces the demand for this grade OF wool, Foreign
wool Is being shipped largely abroad Some 3,00o,un
lbs MONTH ldeo aud Australia are going forward for
the London salcs, which Commences on the 2lth inst
/ and when confidence ia restored, II Is believed We
shall have decided reaction In the wool market a.
tho stock Ia the country Is not more than will be
wanted, even with the reduced production Of goods.
