BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
FROM Wednesday's Boston Journal


AS was indicated last week, the butter
market has taken turn upward, and buy ers
are paying Z to cent more than a week ago
The quality of the receipts has improved, and
nearly all are now full grass flavor. This has
led to cold storage operations. and from this
forward during the flush season, there will
probably be good demand for the best
grades.
The high price of grain has no doubt some
influence on the butter market but the
principle reason for the start now is small
stocks at all leading points, and the desire of
dealers in the West to secure supplies of
grass make as soon as they can When these
buyers are filled up, ana if the make is as
large as 1t is expected to be through June
there may be some easing up in price, but
every person must be his own judge on this
matter. 1t would not be safe for the writer
to make any positive prediction. Conditions
and circumstances are liable to arise at home
and abroad which in short time would work
great changes.
The hnest New York, New Hampshire and
vermont creamery in tubs was generally
held Mt IL cents, and sales were made to the
trade at that price, but most of the large
buyers did not want to pay more than l6i5
cents, the same as western. In most cases
the late western receipts were as good as
nor hern, and taken in preference at any
difference in price. The quotation for north
ern may therefore be given at lG1s to II cents
with inside fgure ruling for the day. What
another day Will bring forth it IS hard to
tell. There was considerable looking round
Tor boxes and sales were l7s to IS cents,
most buyers getting what they wanted at IL,
to Ia cents, but holders of the fancy makes
were firm at Is cents.
These prices indicate an advance of l cent
on the finest grass stock and the improve.
ment IN quality would warrant n portion of
this rise. With sales in the north at Ii cents,
and in the west at 49, cents, a rate here at
l6ls to Il cents Is not unreasonable.
There are no specially new features to note
In cheese. The old stock is cleaning up well
al cents, with an occasional fancy lot at n
higher rate New is selling in small lots at
"a to So cents, as to quality.
Eggs were in strong position, and offer.
ings were light. For the best western II
cents was obtained, and very few choice
lots could be bought for less. Eastern fresh
ruled at y to l2lt.
The bean morket has been quiet, with no
material change in prices. Choice marrow
pea rule at 81 40 to s 40 per bushel. Extra
yellog eyes are steady at 81 so to 81 go, and
red kidneys at 81 10 10 81 80.
The market has been fairly supplied with
potatoes, and prices have ruled steady.
Eastern hehrons sold at IS TO 80 cents and
Green Mountains ut % to 81 per bushel
Small lots of new southern are arriving, and
selling at 50 to 81 per barrel.
