Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

tendency to the butter market in sym
pathy with other markets, and good
demand ror choice lots at the recent
advance. Choice northern creamery,
1O431c; western creamery, 2SH3Oc;
Vermont dairy, 24@2Sc.
Cheese is still firm for choice lots,
with a steady demand for consump-
ton at: York state, 131aM14hc; Yer
mont, 13Ml4c.
Eggs are in light demand. owing te
the high prices, but the market is very
firm and quotations are fully sus-
tanned. Choice hennery and nearby, ~
ui4c eastern extras, 35M4Oc; western
3OM32c.
Trading in fruits and vegetables for
Thanksgiving was as large as usual
All kinds OF small fruit. except apples
and pears, went well, and the demand
for vegetables was broad Prices
moved about good deal while the rush
OF buying was on, but then they set
tied down not very far from those of a
week ago.
In marked contrast with the general
market. trading in apples has been
dull and very unsatisfactory. Receipts
have fallen off little, but supplies. es-
pecially Of ordinary fruit are still OK
cessive. Cranberries went we'll before
the holiday, but have since been dull,
and as strictly fancy lots are scarce,
the best prices are rarely obtained.
Domestic grapes are practically out of
% f,rt ~
ones are rather dear. Pears are dull:
the local market for pears was good
some years ago, but of late the demand
has steadily decreased.
Receipts Of both white and sweet po-
tGtoes have been very heavy and since
the buying has not been brisk the feel
ing is rather weak There is practically
no market for Virginia sweet potatoes
and sales at less than 81 a barrel have
been very frequent. Onions, celery snd
sQuashes have gone well. Cabbages
continue in heavy supply and weak
under slack demand. String beans
are not plenty and prices for fancy
lots are high. Lettuce is easier Gu
cumbers take wide range. Turnips
are pieHIN ana cheap.
