WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET.
Little Change in Prices Since Last
Week

The prices ruling in the local produce
market today show little change. Butter
remains at last weeks prices, although
the supply of strictly fresh fancy goods is
somewhat smaller. The trade is quiet, and
there Is some accumulation of firsts and
seconds. Cheese is slightly higher. and
while there is little export demand, there is
a fair home demand. Eggs are a fraction
lower, and a little quiet, frst-class goods
easily commanding top prices. Poultry is
steady with some indications of a slight ad-
vance. Vegetables are about as last re-
ported, and there is quite a good demand
for fruits. For fine live stock there is a
growing demand with quick sales.
