IN HUB MARKETS
Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

Boston, Sept. J. Butter is easier,
and trade is light, as buyers are not
willing to pay the prices demanded by
receivers. About 23c is the top for
choice northern creamery. though some
are asking more. Northern creamery,
22lLd231hc; western, 22023c; dairy, 20
ale.
Choice nearby eggs are in light sup
ply and are quoted very firm, but low
grades are in full supply and the mar
ket is easy Choice nearby, 2Sd30c;
eastern, 2Jd26c; western. 20@22c.
Cheese is easier in New York and.
outside markets. but this market has
not yet responded, though the feeling
is easier, and buyers are holding off,
York state, 12@121ac; Vermont twins,
l1kd12c.
The demand for fruits and vege-
tables has come chiefly from local
sources and though it lacks the snap
which dealers like to see, things have
cleaned up better and there is less
complaint of an oversupply. AS a mat
ter of fact. though the market is well
stocked with most products, peaches
seem to be the only offering of which
there is more than can be handled.
The tone of the market generally is
steady; changes in prices are as rule
unimpOrtant.
There has been a very fair movement
of apples and rather light receipts
were cleaned up in good shape at sat
isfactOry prices. Fancy cooking stock
has been in especially good request.
