IN HUB MARKETS.
BUTTER PRICES IRREGULAR, WITH
DOWNWARD TURN. ,.

he New Features In Cheese-Eggs Do
moraiired-No improvement In Pota-
tsss-Market Quotations.
BosToN, Fob 5-The butter market has
taken another downward turn. New
York mnde bad break under the influ-
ence OF heavy receipts, and Elgin gave
way o little, but held up better than was
Expected Chicago ruled somewhat easier,
and is likely to fall into line with New
York II receipts continue to increase.
Boston has dropped about cent, but is
still higher than other markets on fancy
fresh stock, which is in very small supply
Most of tho receipts from Vermont and
New Hampshire aro moro or less OIL In
flavor this week.
For this reason our prices for hrstclass
fresh made butter in small packages arc
B to 4 cents above New York's highest
Quotations. This iray seem incredible to
people at u distance and to buyers who
pnay come into the market for small lots,
but 1t is true, nevertheless rs they VIII
find II they want fine full.flavored lot OF
creamery.
All other kinds arc quite plentiful ana
can DO bought about as low as in any
other market After passing tho highest
quality, there Is II drop of several cents,
and sellers are ready to accept any reason
able bid This Is an uncommon state oi
affairs for so carly in February, and has
not been equalcd for many years past.
Cheese.
The cheese market has not developed
any new features. There has been no in
creased demand. and buyers continue to
operate only for immediate wants Sales
OF best fall make in II small way at lOl3 to
liz cents, including twins, but large lot
could not be sold in the open market AT
over 1922 cents.
A few lots of cheap summer cheese have
been sold for export and negotiations for
more are under way, but the demand from
abroad is rather light aud does not Offer
any encouragement for better prices.
Eggs.
The price Of fresh western eggs dropped
to IA and 14la cents under the influence o
the liberal receipts, and the market was
considerably demoralizcd.
Tho Sc are remarkably low prices for the
6rst week in February, and 1t Is hardly
possible that they will continue so low al
Through the month Still the receipts are
large, and the eggs must be sold at ont
price or another.
Holders Of refrigerator stock have beer
selling at almost any price they could get
Some sales OF to l2 cents IA dozen, AM
e. so to So n case. The cold storage stool
was reduced 206l cases, and stood at 56i
cases, against 322l cases same time las
year.
Other Produce.
The bean trade has been light. ant
prices are barely maintained. Sales o
choice mediums and marrow pea ut $3.50
and best yellow eyes at 81. so q bushel.
No improvement in the potato market
Receipts continue liberal, and most sale
Of choice eastern hebrons at 80 to S3 cent
bushel Other kinds slow at 25 to =
cents
In the poultry market the only chang
Is II frmer feeling for choice western tur
keys, which command IA to IS cents
pound. Fowls and chickens plentiful u
previous prices.
