IN HUB MARKETS
Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

Boston, Jan. 9.-Butter is still very
firm, though trade is quiet and confined
to lots needed for current use. Stor-
age creamery is quiet, but very firmly
held: Northern creamery, 27hQ2Sc;
western, 27@271kc; dairy, 22@26c; stor-
age creamery, 26@27c.
Cheese holds along without material
change, buyers combining their pur-
chases to immediate needs, with prices
firm and unchanged: Round lots, York
state, 12M12hc; Vermont twins, 1112@
12c.
Eggs are easy, and show q subStan-
tial decline in price of late. The market
is in a condition to respond quickly to
any increase or diminution in the sup
ply from day to day. The quotations
are: Choice nearby, 35@36c; eastern,
32033c; western, 25@27c; storage, 10
@21c.
Beans are about sc. higher in the
country for pea and medium and there
is a frmer tone to this market. Yellow
eyes and red kidneys are lower, but
steady at the decline: Carload lots, pea,
$1.75M1 80; medium, $1S50190; yellow
eyesA $220@225; red kidneys, $2S0@
2.S5; California small and white, $3.50
@255; foreign pea, $1850190; foreign
medium, $1.9001.95; jobbing prices, 10
015c. higher.
Business has not been very brisk in
the local fruit and produce market.
The weather has interfered with the de-
mand and has been unfavorable for the
shipment of perishable goods, so con-
sequently dealers have put in rather
improbable week. 1t is rather sur
prising that prices have not gone off.
for the supply of most staples has been
good as a matter Of fact the changes
have been few and most of them have
been advances.
Potatoes are still dull and cheap.
Receipts have not been heavy, but deal
ers could not mark prices up, as sup
plies were too large. Sweet potatoes are
easier; the quiet demand has caused
some accumulation and prices had to
be shaded to make sales. The recent
cold wave was felt at Norfolk and
green garden truck from that point
has been coming in rather poor condi-
ton.
Onions are steady. Cabbages meet
with a fair sale. Offerings of squash
are not large and for choice sound
stock full prices are easily obtained.
Turnips are plenty and firm. String
beans have to be choice to bring top
prices. Lettuce is higher and celery is
firm. Cucumbers take a wide range.
