Butter Likely.
Prices in the local wholesale produce
market today are for the most part those
prevailing last week. The butter market
is materially strengthened. and conditions
point to an advance during the coming
week. The product is very firm and scarce
In all grades, receipts being very light.
Cheese is quiet and unchanged in price.
Eggs are very plentiful and dull, the re-
ceipts being unusually large. There is a
good demand for poultry, but turkeys are
hardly plentiful enough to warrant quota
