expected Northern creamery, 2IG 2Sc;

hold very steady. Choice nearby, a
pc; eastern, 19020c; western, 1SW

The local wholesale fruit and vege-
table market has continued fairly ac~
tive. At times the demand showed the
vim usual at this time Of the year, but
the supply in most cases has been ample
and the buying was not continued long
enough to cause material impro\ e.
ment in prices. AS Strawberries are
cheap, the small dealers have taken
them freely. The condition OF the
Strawberries arriving is such that they
| have to be handled quickly to prey ellt
spelling.
Potatoes hold steady at about the
prices of week ago, but old stock is
coming in rather freely and as the de.
mand is not lively, full quotations arc
realized only in a few cases. New po-
tatoes are not very plenty, but those
of good quality sell well. The cool
weather and the absence of rain are
responsible for light receipts of native
asparagus and with steady demand
the feeling is firmev Choice southern
stock moves readily, but a good many
lots reach here in poor condition and
have to go at what they will bring.
Cabbages have to be very choice and
fresh to fetch the outside price. String
beans are plenty and cheap. Beet
greens are higher, but spinach, kale and
dandelions are lower Cucumbers, let
tuce and rhubarb are cheaper. Turnips
and onions are steady.
Apples are cleaning up well and are
firmer. Cranberries are almost out of
the market. Cherries are not very
plenty yet and are high; carload ship
meets will begin about June 1.
