IMPOSITION MARKETS
Butter L ower at the Hub Than
at Other Centers.

Tomato Crop Very UnceTtain-Dr"p In
Prices Large Receipts of Potatoes.
Much windfaII Fruit In the Market.
BOsToY, Sept. 6-The butter trade at
Boston stands fully one cent lower than
any other centre. But this may not long
continue for all predict a general rise in
prices before long. One reason for this Is
the growing demand being made on the
cold stored stock which is none smaller
than it was a year ago. Fresh receipts
are moderate, the extreme heat OF last
week being unfavorable to butter produc-
ton. The close of the vacation season,
and the return of the city people will be
felt by an increase of demand Oh the local
market and should the financial tangle be
early solved, good trade with better prices
may be expected.
Fine western creamery butter is selling
at % to "a l-2 cents per pound, fine north
arm 25 cents and New York and Ver-
mont dairy lots 20 to % cents.
Vegetables.
A fair demand is reported in the vege-
table market which bids fair to increase
with the return of city people from the
country and shore. Trade is such that Of
ferings are generally cleared up each day
which is certainly satisfying the farmer.
Some of the important varieties at this
time of the year quote very irregular
prices for week. For instance the toma-
toe crop under the influence of the intense
heat of last week rapidly came to perfec-
ton and their cost dropped from 81 to $l.25
to so and 15 cents.
This crop the farmers many years ago
found to be uncertain and today there Is
an agreement among them not to sell a
bushel of fruit in Boston market for less
than 25 cents. Rather than do this they
will carry the stock back to the farm and
consig II it to the manure pile.
The Potato Trade
is in large receipts for this season. Good
Houlton, Rose and Hebrons bring 60 to 65
cents per bushel; and Rose and Hebrons
from Rhode Island in barrels bring 81 to
&. So
Some prices for vegetables are: Sum-
mer squash s. per 100, marrow IS cents per
100, Crosby corn so TO IS cents a box, green
peas 81. so TO S2.5), radishes 80 cents 10 81
a box, onions 81 to LILO a bushel, cucum-
bers IS cents to 81 per 100 beets 60 to IS
cents per bushel, cabbage S. to sea hun
dred, and spinach 80 cents bushel.
The Fruit Trade.
High winds the past week sent great
deal windfall fruit on the market from
near by orchards. This is usually in poor
condition, and it did not command fair
price. Some fine pears are to be had, how
ever, at reasonable prices Bartletts, q
cents to 81 a bushel, and Clapp's Favorite
81 per box.
Peaches do not run as even now as earl
Ter in the season. Nice yellows, IL well
culled, bring from 75 cents to Sl.25 a bas-
ket.
The William apples ontinue the most
sought for aud are worth anywhere from
81. 25 to s. % a barrel.
