Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

butter is almost entirely out of mar
ket; something that has not been noted
here for several seasons. Prices are
very firm. Extra creamery, small pkgs,
31632c; northern fresh, round lots, 81
Q31hc; western, 3Oh@31c; eastern,

Cheese is in snug supply, with the
market firm and prices very steady.
Round lots, 12@131zc; sage, 121A014c;
jObbing, h01c higher.
Eggs are very firm. Receivers have
reports from shippers in the country
saying that owing to the high prices Of
meat more eggs are being consumed.
and hence the shipments to market are
smaller than usual. These reports sug-
gest that the shipments Of eggs to the
city markets are likely to continue
smaller than usual. Hence the tradeis
somewhat bothered to know where eggs
for storing are to come from. Some
storing has already been done, but the
price Is very high, compared with other
years, when they have sometimes been
stored as low as 13c. Present quota
tons are firmer. Western, fresh, 16h
@17c; eastern, 1T01Sc; nearby and
fancy, 20@22c and up; jobbing, 1c to

Beans are firmer. The trade seems to
expect that the consumption of beans
will be very large this season, owing
to their great nutritive value and the
high prices of meat, eggs, etc.

as freely as last year, though the re-
ceipts have been expected to begin to
fall Off more rapidly. Quotations are
fairly sustained, though trade is quiet.
