IN HUB MARKETS
Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

Boston, June 12.-Butter has been in
heavy receipt, and the market is
easier and somewhat lower for the
week. Northern creamery, 211aQ22Ac;
western, 21@22c; dairy, 19@21c.
Old cheese is we'll sold up, only lit
tie stock being left, for which holders
are asking fancy prices. New cheese
is coming forward quite freely and,
though the quality is improving, prices
are easy. New York state, 100llc:
Vermont twins, 9a1Oc; old cheese, IL
0141ac.
Eggs hold steady for all choice lots,
with only moderate supply, though
ordinary grades are Offering freely.
Choice nearby, 21@22c; eastern, 100
zoe; western, 17@1Sc.
Beans are very firm with an upward
tendency, though prices are not yet
quotably changed. Carload lots, pea,
81 S0M1 So; medium, 50. 1002.15; yellow
eyes, $2.10M2.15; red kidneys. $2.S50
$50; California small white, S2.25W
2GO; jobbing prices, 10@15c higher
The unreasonable weather has made
business dull in the local wholesale
fruit and vegetable market. Offerings
have been plenty, as a rule, but as
paragus and butter beans have been
scarce, and there were none too many
cabbages. Prices have moved up ana
down, but taken as whole, the leve!
is slightly lower.
Receipts of apricotS, peaches and
plums from California have been large.
The quality of these fruits is said to
be unusually good for this time of year.
Stocks Of old potatoes have de-
creased, and prices are firmer. There
is a steady demand for new potatoes OF
good size and quality. Native peas
have reached the market, but are held
at high prices. Asparagus sells well,
and choice green cucumbers do not re-
main long in receivers hands. Fancy
tomatoes are scarce, but there is
plenty of poor stuff. The market is
overstocked with onions, and Bermu-
das are SO poor that dealers are forced
to sell them cheaply. Turnips ARE
firm. The call for marrow squashGs
is very draggy. Offerings Of string
beans are irregular, both as TO quality
ard condition; choice stock is high. bat
there are a good many lots that have
to go at what they will bring.
