StrenSth-Kncrease In Potato Receipts.
Boston, Nov. 10.-On one hand there is
al accumulation of butter, and on the
other a dimunition of stock. 1t is a
peculiar situation, and a very unsatis-
factory one for those who are receiving
fresh supplies. New York dropped half
a cent Monday, because; as the cir
cular reported, receivers feel the ne
cessity of getting prices on basis
which will afford an outlet for the full
amount of fresh butter arriving. Bos-
ton receivers dropped cent last week
for the same reason, but it failed to
stimulate trade, and they are still wait
ing for buyers to say what they will
take the butter at.
The general consumption is up to fair
average, Notwithstanding the slow de-
mand for fresh make. Since the 31st,
of August, when the cold storage stock
was at its highest point, 203,4S tubs,
there has been reduction of Sc, 637 tubs,
year; but during the past two months
against SO, 764 tubs the same time last
about $4,000 tubs of fresh receipts were
put in, against about b. 900 tubs the same
time last year, which shows that just
about one-half of the original stock
of this years summer butter has been
used up.
The receipts at Boston for the week
were 1871 tubs and II, 896 boxes, a total
of 702, Sal pounds, against 554, 243 pounds
the previous week and 635,S54 pounds
the corresponding week last year. This
shows an increase as compared with
the previous week and last year, not
withstanding the very low prices
The cold storage statement for the
week is as follows: Put in, 1869 tubs;
taken out, II, 427 tubs; stock, 1876, $50 tubs,
against 1913 800 tubs same time last year.
For the corresponding week last year
2145 tubs were put in and 1924 tubs taken
out.
A nominal quotation of 211a to q
cents is all that can be given for assort-
ed size tubs Of fresh northern, ana Y
and 221h cents for boxes in crates. Some
receivers, who put their butter away
last week said they did not know where
to find buyer a 81 cents. Receivers of
western creamery have been trying to
get q to 2115 cents, but few sales could
be made, and some of the largest said
they would not guarantee to sell large
lot at q cents. A few fancy makes go
over this rate, but only for small lots to
regular customers. Choice June cream
cry has been in fair demand at 20 to 2012
cents, and some fine northern cannot be
bought for less than q cents, but most
holders of western are willing to accept
&c cents. This stock is going into con-
sumption instead of fresh receipts, and at
the difference in price continues to give
satisfaction. Jobbers report moderate
trade al %, "a and % cents, the outside
for boxes.
No change for the better can be re-
ported in cheese. Large buyers con-
tinue to hold off, and sales run along
in lots as wanted at 91A to 915 cents.
Choice grades of apples are in steady
demand, and best No. baldwins readily
command SO per Dbl. A few fancy va
rites go higher.
Potato receipts are large and prices
are easier for choice stock. Choice
Aroostook hebrons, 20 and 10 cents, and
fair to good, 6S to 20 cents per bushel;
New York white stock rule at So to 20
cents; provincial stock, So to 65 cents.
Supplies of vegetables are liberal and
prices show very little change Native
cabbages, 81 to $4 per 100; native onions
Go to rs cents per bushel; marrow squash,
70 cents to 81 per barrel; hubbard
squash, SIS to SIS per ton; turnips, 20 to
so cents per barrel.
Fresh eggs have gained more strength,
and sales of fine Michigan and others
of the same grade were made at q to
% cents. a large portion of the west
ern receipts We're poor and ranged from
II to 10 cents. Fresh eastern sold at %
to % cents, and fancy new laid ranged
higher. Refrigerator stock is firrner at
II to Is cents.
The wet weather since Monday has
been unfavorable for the poultry trade
and chickens are a little lower. Choice
large northern turkeys are in light re-
ceipt and worth IS to 20 cents per pound,
but small. Other stuff is slow OF sale at
II to Is cents.
