produce Exchange.

Produce Exchange.
The exceedingly unpleasant weather we
are now having, and have had for more than
d week, has, to a certain extent, demoralized
the produce market During this period it
has been difficult to fix prices, for there was
would come in, or how large or
small would be the demand. With
several of the railroads blockaded
receipts were largely diminished. and with
the streets OF the city nearly closed with snow
the demand was reduced to the minimum.
As usual the better grades of butter are
strong and firm at quotations with a prospect
of an advance. The advance noted few day 8
ago in cheese is still maintained. Onions are
firm. Green stuff is quiet and steady. Apples
are very firm indeed, and the advance made
on Saturday is fully maintained, so that
good hara firm stock cannot be had for less
than 81 5002. 20. while the tendency is to a
still further advance. Oranges and lemons
are firm. The poultry market is in very
uncertain condition. Stocks are not large,
and but little is coming in. That little,
however. is sufficient for the present demand.
Dressed turkeys are allowed 10 stand at from
10c to lie, but they are weak at those figures,
while chickens are reduced to 10Sc. For live
