IN HUB MARKETS
Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

Ter is the feature Of the market. Deal |
ers are some of them alarmed at pros
poets of high prices on the new butter
that is to come, and exceedingly bearish
in their IDEAS. Having no butter they
are very willing to set prices low.
Under a little difresent conditions, such
as the May and June creameres having
been bought. anything like the presen
demand would put prices up very sharp
~. But in spite of the feeling of thoSt
who have no butter and want to buy, the
market is very firm and high. Extra

a fair demand. Round lots, 12M13iac;

Eggs are in small supply for the sea
son. 1t is believed that the high prices
OF meats have caused much greater
consumption of eggs, hence the reduced
arrivals. Not the usual amount OF stor-
ing eggs has been done, and the storers
begin to wonder where eggs for storing
are to come from. Besides, present
prices are unusually high for storing.
