change to note in quotations. Receipts
are liberal, and the inquiry is light,
Northern creamery, 231A@241Ac; west
ern, 23@2313c; dairy, 2OQ22c.
Cheese continues firm on the best
grades, with a moderate demand. The
quotations are very steadily held at:
York state, 13h@14c; Vermont twins,
10 1-4@131ac.
Choice fresh gathered, nearby eggs
are very firm, and most any price can
be obtained for choice lots. The re-
ceipts are largely made up Of the low
grades and they are hard to sell. Choice
hennery and nearby, 40@45c and up;
eastern, 36@9Sc; western, 2SQ32c; re-
frigerators, 21@23c.

slow, but they do not change much.

freely, but they are not being taken
very we'll on account of the high prices.

cleaned up for this year and basket
stock is scarce.

off materially and with accommodating
supplies prices have weakened. Choice,
sound, good-sized onions are in light
supply and readily bring full quota
tons, but ordinary lots are plenty and
hard to place even at low prices. Cab
bages are firmer and celery has been ad-
vanced. Fancy string beans are scarce
and high. Squashes are steady, but
turnips are easy under large offerings.
