GENERAL PRODUCE
The Minneapolis Market.

PdLuIUdyp April
A strong tone has ruled in the butter
market for the past week, and prices to-day
are firm as quoted There has been no ad-
vance in prices. The hrmness extended
through the whole line but was especially
noticeable on the top grade dairies and extra
creameries. Supplies of fancy butter have
been barely large enough to meet the call
At the close of the week there is an excel
lent demand, local retailers buying freely and
showing disposition to take better sized lots
than formerly. Packing stock is showing
more actively. and all receipts sell readily
Quotations are pretty well maintained. The
market in general is in good shape and SO
far as local conditions are concerned there
Is no reason why prices should not hold.
Eggs have been IN much the same con-
dition as butter, holding firm although show
ing no advance. Strictly fresh now sell up to
12c and the trade in general maintains a firm
view Of the situation. Stocks are light in
local hands, and with retailers buying freely
and fair business coming from shippers. the
outlookvfs for firmness for the. present
Live poultry is holding to steady basis
Receipts continue moderate and stocks are
now down to basis where there is no neces-
sity for forcing out to prevent accumulation
AS the weather grows warmer there is more
attention given to live, and dressed stock is
somewhat neglected.
Vegetables are firm and new stock is SELL
ing well. Applies are firm Oranges and
lemons hold steady. Cranberries are offered
lower as stock Is not now so good as form
erly. Strawberries are growing cheaper.
