creamery, 240241ac; western, 23AAD
24c; dairy, 22G23c.
Cheese holds very steady here for OLD
stock, but Liverpool continues to de-
cline. New cheese is more plenty and
the tendency is downward. York
state, 14@14kc; Vermont twins, 100
1870; new cheese, 12@13c.
Eggs are in liberal receipt, but prices
are steady on choice lots. Some of the
stock from the west is in Indifferent
condition, and quotations take wide
range. Choice nearby, 21@22c; east
ern, 19Q20c; western, 18@181zc.
Business has not been very lively In
the local wholesale fruit and vegetable
market, chiefly because Of unfavorable
weather. Some dealers report very
fair demand, but these are exceptions
rather than the rule. The unreasonable
weather has visited the growing Sec
tons also, with the result that stocks
In the local market generally are Of
poor quality. Choice products, in con-
sequence, are sitter in price.
New garden truck is coming in freely,
but on account of the cold weather the
receipts of asparagus have been very
light. The arrivals of cucumbers also
have been small, and they are higher
Rhubarb is very plenty and cheap, and
tomatoes have declined under larger
offerings. The market is pretty short
Of choice cabbages, but there is plenty
Of poor stuff. Fancy string beans COM
mand high prices. Peas are in large
supply and move slowly, except when
strictly choice and fresh. Lettuce is
firmer. Onions and turnips are steady.
Old potatoes have ruled very quiet dur
ing the week, and though the receipts
have continued large, prices are no
lower than they were. There is fair
call for choice new potatoes.
Strawberries have been in good sup
ply and as the quality has been moth
ing extra, the prices have been low.

The wheat market has shown very
little change in the actual situation dur
ing the past week, the wide fluctuations
in price, especially in July, being due
to able manipulation of adverse cror
reports. The crop alarm included re
ports of too much rain and rust IL
