GENERAL PRODUCE.
The same old story was heard on all sides
yesterday-not enough choice dairy butter
coming in to meet the demand and too much
Door stuff. Medium goods that are worth
lO@l2c are taken fairly we'll by grocers, but
butter that they won't take runs into peddler
and packing stock. Fresh makes that show
up yellow and nice and sweet are selling
nicely. The egg market is steady at lie. The
demand is almost entirely from grocers, but
only in a small way-just enough to keep
them running. There is q steady de-
mand for mutton that is put up in
nice shape at full prices. Spring lambs
are coming in more freely, but the prices are
so high good many can'tus them. Suli,
they work off fairly. The late cold weather
produced some shrinkage in the offerings of
asparagus and pieplant, and corresponding
degree of firmness is noted in them. Near
by farmers were on hand with free supply
of garden truck, such as radishes, onions,
spinach. etc. Good strawberry. stock sold
we'll both to local dealers and for outside
account at $4@1425 for 24-qt cases: A
considerable portion of the arrivals
were in poor condition. being water
soaked mouldy, etc. Prices on off stock
ranged from $3.50 down. The receipts OF
veal were small and more could have been
sold. Still. no fancy prices were paid. The
lSarket is firm under light offerings and an
improved demand. Among the potato re-
celpts were some Early Rose that were wllted
and sold for 3u@35c Good stock will bring
&c or Sc more in small way. The Eastern
markets show a little improvement, but
Western markets are quite the reverse.
Business in the poultry line was very light.
Some nice coops of hens brought little
over our highest quotation, but it was more
because the buyer happened to need just
such lot than the strength of the market.
The offerings this morning were small.
Trade in full cream cheese is reported as
very satisfactory. Receipts are gradually
working mp and the demand holds steady.
Foreign limitations are practically out OF the
market, and not much business expected IN
them for a week or two.
