There is a very firm market for all choice
dairy products, particularly Elgin creamery
butter and New York cheese. Strictly fresh
eggs are firm at outside quotations, supply
not being up to demand. 1t is rumored on
good ground that a large proportion of the
hen fruit sold for fresh laid is taken from
cold storage stock. Vegetables are frmer
and shade higher since the advent of cool
weather and threatening frosts. Tomatoes,
cabbage, cucumbers and Lima beans are ad-
vanced. We note an improved market for
tropical fruits, with lemons as the excep-
ton. The latter have been chilled by the
cool weather.
