IN HUB MARKETS
Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

Boston, Nov. 20.-Ilhe market for
fresh creamery butter is very firm, but
trade is rather slow, as buyers are not
ready to respond to the higher prices
asked. Northern creamery, 23130
24hc; western, 23@23kc; dairy, 2OQ22c.
The cheese market is unchanged,
prices being very firmly held at the top
prices of recent weeks. York state,
13A@14c; Vermont twins, 13 1-40131ac.
There is very firm market for all
choice lots Of freshlaid eggs, but com.
mon grades are irregular and not ma
terially changed. Choice hennery and
nearby, 40c and up; eastern, 35Q3Sc;
western fresh, 27Q30c; refrigerators,
21@23c.
Dealings have been rather slack in
the local fruit and vegetable market,
but in the absence of heavy supplies
prices have held up well. The move
ment of apples has been especially
slow. There has been but little snap
to the demand, and even strictly fancy
lots have not sold with the freedom
of a week or two ago. Quotations have
not changed, but it is said that in
number of cases when sales were made
prices were shaded.
Cranberries are coming forward in
small quantities and have had fur
ther sharp advance.
Vegetables have not changed much,
but most Of the few changes have been
advances. The demand for potatoes is
not so brisk as it was, but receipts are
not excessive, and prices remain firm.
Supplies of sweets have decreased a
little, but there has been no improve
ment in prices. String beans and Gu
cumbers are slightly easier, but celery
has advanced. Turnips are plenty,
dull and easy. Cabbages, onions and
squashes are unchanged. Spinach and
cauliflowers are higher.
