BOSTON MARKETS.
quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand.

In peculiar condition this week. No
resh supplies of any consequence have
'eeh carried over, and receipts continue
o run light, SO that most of the receivers
laVe no more than enough to meet the
wants or their regular trade. Still there
= an easier tendency. In sympathy with
ne decline Of cent in New York. and
buyers are looking for CONCESSIONS.
Aside from this, our market is in 4
healthy condition, and until receipts in.
'rease no great decline can be expected.
western advices indicate light make
'f butter, with a demand about equal
TO the supply, and prices are fairly
maintained in Elgin. Several of the New
england creameries are at their lowest
for the season, and some OF
them are making shipments only once
n two weeks, because they have no but
Ter to send. How long this will con-
tinue 1t is hard to tell, but it is reason
able to suppose that just so soon as the
present wintry spell is over there will be
a steady increase in the milk supply.
June and fall storage creamery ruled
steady at % to "a cents. with some fancy
Northern held at rs cents. But this is
getting less factor every week, as the
stock is considerably reduced and what
ls left is being used for the jobbing
trade. Most of the returned butter from
England has been disposed of.
Jobbers have not changed prices from
last week. Their best creamery is SELL
Ing at q to % cents, and it is not likely
they will make much if any change at
present. They cannot 81 the stock and
sell any cheaper without a loss; that is.
until the wholesale price is dropped
from its present position. Still they feel
the effects of the light trade, and if the
people will not take the butter the price
asked is of little consequence.
The leading feature of the cheese sit
uation is the steady advance which has
been going on in Liverpool, gaining Cd
every day. and the quotation is now .
shillings higher than last week, being
sos Sd for white and 62s for colored
This has led to more demand here, and
previous prices can be more readily
obtained for all offered. Sales of fine
twins have been at 10 cents.
The egg market is firm, with sales of
choice fresh western at 151a to 16 cents,
but later there was an easier feel
ing, and sales Were at 14h to Is cents.
Southern and fair western sold at 1872
to IA cents. Choice eastern ruled at
1C to II cents, with ordinary lots at
about the price of western. The mar
ket closed unsettled and uncertain, and
buyers seemed to be afraid to operate.
Storage eggs were quiet at 10 to II cents.
In this market flour rules quiet, with
the demand limited to immediate re-
uuirements, and these requirements
generally take on the upward turns of
the wheat market. Locally there are
no changes in quotations.
Cornmeal has been ruling firm, on the
strength in the market on corn, and re-
mains unchanged Oatmeal and the
cereals are generally quiet and un-
changed.
Oats continue quiet, with little change
in the spot market but with options a
fraction easier. Oats to arrive are also
rather easy.
Very little change is noted in the mar
ket on hay. Choice is well held, witt
low and medium grades only steady
Rive straw is quiet, with little demand
for oat straw. Mill feed is a shade
easier, all along the line.
