Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

24hc; western, 23Q23hc: dairy, 20N
pc.
Cheese is steadily held at the high
prices recently recorded, but 1t Is
thought that the market Is at the top,
and 1t would not be surprising II the
next turn was downward. Some Of
the western markets are already lower.
York state, 13hMl4c; Vermont twins.
IL 1-4Mi3hc.
Very high prices are being quoted
for choice fresh gathered eggs, with
only a moderate supply. Refrigerator
stock Is firmer in sympathy. Choice
hennery and nearby. 3SQ42c; eastern.
34036c; western fresh, 26M3Oc: re-
frlgerators, 2OI23c.
1t has not been very busy In the local
fruit and vegetable market. Prices as
a general rule are firm and supplies are
average. Dealers describe the position
OF the market as healthy and look for
n broader demand with the Thanksgiv-
ing trade.
Apples are a shade easier, but the
quotations are not changed. There has
been a distinct falling off in the de-
mand for no apparent reason save that
prices have been held pretty high.
Cranberries are selling rapidly and
show a constant hardening tendency.
Grapes, particularly those from Cali
fornia. are easier. a %scasonable de-
mand is reported In figs. dates and
nuts.
Potatoes have continued to advance
under Il good demand and rather light
arrivals. The market for sweets is still
dull and weak. All kinds Of celery
are higher. but cucumbers are cheaper.
Fancy string beans are in good de-
mand, but poor lots are hard TO place.
Cabbages. onions, turnips and squashes
are steady.
