Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

Boston, Aug. 24-Recelpts OF butter
continue heavy, but the market is well
sustained and prices are steady. North
ern creamery, 22d23c; western, 211z@l
22Ikc: dairy, 1Sg2Oc.
The cheese market is easier, follow
ing the decline in the country. Trade
is rather quiet York state, 10 3-4Q
II 1-4c; Vermont twins, 10hQ11c.
Choice lots of fresh gathered eggs
are in demand. but receipts of other
grades are large, and buyers are eau
tious. Choice nearby, 2Gd21c; east
ern. 23G25c; western, 19d20e.
Business has been only moderately
active in the local fruit and vegetable
market. Farm truck has continued in
good supply at fairly reasonable prices.
The prospects are that this years
apple crop will be small, and they are
considerably higher than they were at
this time last year. Receipts are light
and there is a very good demand for
choice, well-grown fruit. Plums are at
an almost prohibitive level, while quo
tations on peaches and eating pears are
far from attractive. Grapes are com
ing along more freely and have good
sale.
Supplies of potatoes are rather light,
but there seems TO be enough for the
demand. Sweet potatoes are plenty.
of good quality and sell fairly well.
Green corn and cucumbers are abun-
dant and offerings Of elephants are
much in excess of requirements. Peas
are scarce and higher, and string beans
hold up well under rather small re-
ceipts and a steady demand. Turnips
have dropped and there are large
quantities of peppers to be had very
cheap. Onions are coming to market
freely and sell slowly except when
choice. Tomatoes are steady. Lettuce
is firmer, but kindred plants have not
changed much since last week.
