Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

Boston. Dec. Butter has shown
little more strength on the better
GRADES but the demand is still slow
and quotations are unchanged. North,
ern creamery, 231k0241kc; western, 23@
231zc: dairy, 20d22c.
Cheese is still coming forward in I'M
usual quantities, but the market is
very firmly held for the best makes, at
the top prices recently quoted: York
state, 131k@14c; Vermont twins, IL Il
G131zc. .s =
There is no material change to note
in the egg market The scarcity Of
roally choice fresh gathered stock con-
tfuues, and prices are firmly held on
The best grades. Refrigerators are
steady. Choice hennery and nearby, |
41045c and up; eastern, 3603Sc; west
ern. 2Sd32c; refrigerators, 21M23c.
Apples have again had very slow
movement, but prices are not ma
terialIy changed. There has been some
| inquiry for fancy lots, but dealers have
| not been very plentifully stocked with
| such grades Receipts of cranberries
/ have been extremely small, and the
! highest prices of the season have been
| reached on the better grades. There
! are but few pears left.
Potatoes are plenty, duh and easy.
| The market is quite generously sup
| piled with string beans, and as the de-
mand for them is slack, the outside
quotation is rarely obtained. All kinds
of cabbages are higher, but celery is
cheaper, and cucumberS have declined.
Lettuce is very cheap, though the
quality of the offerings is said to be the
best of the year. The best onions move
readily at full quotations, but there is
good deal of ordinary small stock
that is cleaning up slowly at low prices.
Suuashes are steady, and turnips are
firm, with French whites held at some
what higher figures than prevailed
week ago. Native spinach has adj
vanced.
