IN HUB MARKETS
Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand


yanced In all markets, under the st1mu
lus of smaller receipts and a good de
mand from the trade. Considerably
has gone into cold storage, and thu
stocks so held are said to be largel
than at this time last year. The quo
tations are: Northern creamery, 23G
24c; western, 22h@23hc; dairy, 19@21c
Cheese has ruled higher at interior
markets and prices here have beer
forced upward in consequence. Re
ceipts are fair, but the trade Is slow
to respond to the higher basis and bust
ness is very quiet. York state, 11@
II 3-4c; Vermont twins, 10 3-4@11 1-4c
Eggs are firmef, with a smaller sup
ply of choice fresh gathered. Western
eggs are in liberal receipt, but only a
small portion Of them grade as ex.
tras. Choice nearby, 26@27c; eastern
23@25c; western, 20@21c.
A good average business for this
time Of the year was done in the local
fruit and vegetable market. Supplies
were somewhat smaller than they have
been recently and prices generally have
been firm. Shipments are increasing
and larger supplies and lower prices
are looked for.
Potatoes stiffened sharply, but de-
clined when there were large receipts.
Onions are not so plenty as they were
and are f1rmer, though not materially
higher. Cabbages are in light supply
and high. Cucumbers are very plenty
and much cheaper. String beans are
slightly frmer, but green corn, peas
and turnips have not changed much
since week ago. Jersey tomatoes are
in large supply and cheap, but native
offerings bring good prices. Peppers
are easier and squashes have dropped
a little.
