BOSTON MARKETS.

Boston, Oct. 21-Butter is well sus-
sEined at the stronger prices, with a
pretty fair demand noted. Extra
creamery, small pkgs, 23@23Ac; north
ern fresh. round lots, 221A@23c; western,
220221Ac; eastern, 22@2215c; diaries, IS
G19c; firsts, 1S@19c; ladies', 14Q17c;
jobbing, 1ac to 1c more.
Cheese continues in steady demand at
steady prices. Round lots, new, 0 34@
10 3-4c; sage, 11@111Ac; jobbing, AQ1c
higher.
Choice fresh eggs are in limited sup
ply, with the market firm. The best

ket firm. Early storage, 17019c; fresh
western, 2O021c; choice Michigan, 220
23c; eastern, 22c and up; jobbing, 1c to

New beans are slow about getting in
from the west, and hence the market is
pretty firm, under the rather limited
supply of old beans.
There is a good demand for the best
fall apples, at steady prices. Winter
fruit is beginning to come forward, and
on the whole is fully as abundant as
expected. The apple crop is decidedly
irregular. Some sections of Maine have
a good crop, while other sections have
very few. AS whole there is doubtless
about half of a full crop in New Eng
land while in some sections of the west
there is a good crop. Other sections
have very few apples. In the country
good prices are being paid for the best
winter apples; even better than this
market will warrant at present. Here
quotations are steady. Gravensteins.
