Produce Fxchange.

The sharp, cold weather we are having
now has caused prices in some articles to ad-
vance very decidedly. Several DAYS AZ the
prices of butter were advanced and it now
stands very strong indeed at the figures
named below, with Il disposition to still
further advance. Cheese is firm but prices
are stationary. Onions and maple sugar are
steady. Green stuff quiet. Apples are ac-
tive and in good demand at the advanced
prices of S303.50 per BARREL Domestic
grapes are steady. With the exception of
Floridas, which have declined TO $40
$50. oranges are steady. Lemons
are firm. The poultry market presents
no specially new features. The supply is
getting to be large, and stocks are gradually,
though not very rapidly, increasing. Prices
have not changed. The Swindling operations
of men who go out into the country and
claim to be commission merchants from St.
Paul still go on. In order to gain credit these
men get price list printed, and put the
price of poultry up TO more than double
lis market price in st. Paul. and
then, by representing themselves as
dealers in ST. Paul, they gain a
poultry on time 1t makes no difference 10
them how much they pay. They do not in
tend to make any returns but to sell the stock
and get out of the country before their obi
cations become due. They come back here
from the country and sell for whatever they
CAD get anu lcdNc. OUe ilitlu WIS bOdSIlUR Il
