IN HUB MARKETS
Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

Boston, Dec. 11.-Butter has shown
little more strength on the better
grades, but the demand is still SLOW
and quotations are unchanged. North
ern creamery, 231a@241ac; western, 30
231ac; dairy, 20@22c.

usual quantities, but the market is
very firmly held for the best makes, al
the top prices recently quoted; York
state, 131@l4c; Vermont twins, 13 IA
Q131ac.

in the egg market. The scarcity OF

Apples have again had very slow
movement, but prices are not ma
terially changed. There has been some
inquiry for fancy lots, but dealers have
not been very plentifully stocked with
such grades Receipts of cranberries
lave been extremely small, and the
highest prices of the season have been
reached on the better grades. There
are but few pears left.
Potatoes are plenty, dull and easy.
The market is quite generously sup
piled with string beans, and as the de-
mand for them is slack, the outside
quotation is rarely obtained. All kinds
of cabbages are higher, but celery is
cheaper, and cucumbers have declined
Lettuce is very cheap. though the
quality of the offerings is said to be the
best of the year. The best onions move
readily at fun quotations, but there is
a good deal of ordinary small stock
that is cleaning up slowly at low prices.
Squashes are steady, and turnips are
firm. with French wis es held at some
what higher figures than prevailed a
week ago. Native spinach has adj
vanced.
