Wholesale Produce Market.

There is considerable improvement in the
volume of business done in general produce.
Butter is in better demand with more liberal
supply of sweet dairy roll and print; there still
continues, however, heavy receipts of badly
worked poor grades, which hang on hand till
sold as shipping at low figures. Beans have
slightly improved, choice navy being q little
dearer Cheese is nc dearer. Shippers of
poultry should take notice that quotations given
are for choice birds, not for old ones killed be-
cause they are of no further use i'll the poultry
yard. Such if sent in good shape will sell in the
present scarcity, but they will not command out
side figures, and it is unreasonable for shippers
to expect it. Fruits are quiet. Dressed meats
firm. Dried meats firm and stocks diminishing.
