IN HUB MARKETS
Quotations on the Leadin5
Products In Demand

very nrm market Tor butter, WITH llgnl
receipts and fair demand. Still, this
market has not kept pace with New
York and the west in the matter of es-
| tablishing new values. The quotations
are: Choice northern creamery, 27Q
CSC; western, 25k@261ac; Vermont
dairy, 22Q25c.
Cheese is very firm, with recent sales
| being made at full quotations for choice
lots. Liverpool has advanced. York
state, 1212@13hc; Vermont, 11h@121Ac.
Choice fresh eggs from all sections
are in short supply, and prices have
made a material advance, especially on
nearby and extra easterns. Choice hen
merry and nearby, 32@34c; eastern ex-
tras, 29@32c; western, 22@25c.
The local fruit and vegetable market
is quick to respond to the more season
able weather. With diminishing sup
plies, prices naturally show harden
| ing tendency.
The apple market is sitter, though
prices are not greatly changed. The
demand has been livelier, particularly
| for fancy eating stock. Cantaloupes
do not move very freely, but offerings
| are small, and they are much higher.
| Cranberries sell WE'LL but cooler wealth
er is needed before they will become
active. A brisk demand is noted for
| grapes, and at times dealers have found
| it hard to fill orders.
Shipments of potatoes have again
been restricted by shortage of cars
| at the primary points. The demand has
| been light, but the lack of large sup
| plies prevents lower prives. Sweet po-
tatoes are doing better under falling
| off in the arrivals. Choice sound onions
of good size are in light supply, steady
demand and firm, but the market is
overstocked with poor lots that have to
be sold at very low prices. Cabbages
are plenty, but they have a good sale,
