GENERAL PRODUCE
The Minneapolis Market.
SATURDAY. Nav II

| The week has witnessed a continued sag
ging butter market, and prices at the close
are on the basis of 1SGlS42c for extra cream
cries There have been no heavy declines at
any time, but slight shading from day TO
day. Whether the market is now on the
bottom is a question. New grass butter
should be coming in freely before long, and
as the storage houses viii undoubtedly take
any surplus that may come over and above
eonsumptive requirements, 1t Is reasonable
to expect q firm and steady market On the
other hand, receipts of present makes are
liberal, and low grades are very dull. While
local stocks are well reduced yet jobbing in
quiry is light, and speculative and storage
buyers are neglecting the market and show
ing disposition 10 wait for fair receipts OF
grass butter before taking hold. The market
on packing stock is very dull.
Eggs are holding fairly steady without i'm
portant feature. Receipts are being taken up
principally by retail buyers, although there is
some round lot trade. On the whole, accu-
mutations are light 1t seems to be the gen
eral opinion along the street that the present
range will be maintained, and no further
serious decline Is looked for.
After period of weakness that carried
veal down, the market settled, and during the
week has been steady around 7hQSc for fan
cy. Demand Is active on the good lots and
quiet and unsteady on veal Of inferior quail
ity.
Poultry has been weak and steady by turns,
but showed few changes on the whole for
the week. Ducks are weak and are quoted at
LOT WQlIG ana DC LOT GClOFeQ, anu geese dI .
also of to sc fiat.
Beans and peas are holding to a steady
basis and show few changes. Potatoes are
also firm and steady as quoted. The vegeta-
BILE list shows some declines on new STOCK,
owing to more liberal receipts.
Fruits are active. Strawberries are coming
more freely and are offered somewhat lower.
Oranges and lemons are quiet but steady.
