refrigerators 17@19c. The above quo
tations are what shippers sending but
ter, cheese and eggs to Boston may ex-
pect to receive; jobbing prices are
somewhat higher.
Business in the local fruit and prod
uce market has been even duller than
it was during the previous week, and
prices have followed an uneven course.
The weather is again offered as the
reason for slow demand, and dealers
expect that with the advent of more
seasonable weather business will i'm
prove. The buying has been to large
extent in strictly fancy stuff.
Offerings of onions have been much
in excess of the demand and they are
lower. Cabbages are frmer, though
prices have not advanced. Squashes
are easy under liberal supplies and
light demand. String beans have a
steady sale, and as receipts are light
prices show firmness. Tomatoes are
firm and cucumbers are higher. Pota-
toes, both white and sweet, have ruled
firm. Receipts of white potatoes have
been liberal, but there has been suf
ficient demand to keep prices up.
Choice stock has had an especially
good call at top quotations. Jersey
deuble-head sweets brought full prices
for all offered; eastern shore and Nor
folk stock are plenty and though not in
active request have held firm. Vege-
