OTHER COUNTY MARKETS.
BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.

l. From Wednesdays Boston journal.
This must be considered an OF week In the
butter market, and prices are to a great eN-
tent nominal. Monday was Il close holiday,
and there was little demand yesterday, so
that there has not been enough doing since
last week to warrant any change in values.
fairly steady tone is maintained, as there
is no disposition to force sales at any conces-
siOns, and the general feeling Is that full pre-
viOus rates Will be obtained when buyers
begin to operate.
Receipts are moderate and advices from
the interior do not indicate any material in.
crease in the make In any section. Some OF
the Vermont creameries this week are send
ing small lots with new milk flavor and this
quality will probably increase from this time
forward, though ii cannot cut much of figure
in total supply until the middle of January.
Actual selling prices yesterday were diff
cult to obtain, because there were not enough
buyers around to test the mark ct. The gen
eral asking price for choice fresh creamery
in n wholesale way was 81 cents, and this
might have been shaded half cent If prompt
bids were made. quotation of 2O1s to 81
cents would cover the market for the bulk of
the offerings, with 20 cents ana under for of
quality. This includes western and North
ern Small fancy lots of vermont with new
milk flavor, was quoted mp to PIX cents, hut
this so hare to find that it was hardly
worth mentioning. Best creamery i'm boxes
sold mt - cents, but a good deal of the offer
ings could he bought at 81 Z cents.
Notwithstanding the light trade, the cheese
m trket has II stronger tone, under the inhu.
ence of the high prices in the country and
the small stocks reported in all parts of the
interior. Holders here are indifferent about
Offering the best stock under II cents. and
fancy twins are firm at TX cents. These
cannot be called actual selling rates. as moth
ing of consequence has been done this week
so far, but il is not likely that buyers will
be able to get supplies of the right kind for
less. Fair to good stock may be quoted at
8 to 10Y cents.
Strictly fresh eggs are getting scarcer every
week. and dealers find it difficult to get
enough to keep their customers supplied. A
large portion of the Western coming III are
more or less injured by frost, and these take
a range of % to 25 cents. Fresh southwestern
lots command 20 to % cents, and if strictly
fine run up TO 2S cents. Fresh Eastern com
mand 90 to 2S cents, and fancy new laid go
higher. In fact, it is hard to limit the price
of a real fancy egg.
The poultry market was quiet yesterday
and prices ruled low. Choice Western tur-
keys sold at II to II cents, and very few
Northern were worth over II cents. Fowls
and chickens were slow at to 10 cents. A
considerable quantity was taken by Gamers
at to cents per pound.
