Quotations on tho Leading
Products In Demand

Boston, May 31.-The butter market
has been very easy, though outside |
markets stiffened up little. Quota
tons here were advanced lkc, though |
the demand is still quiet. Choice north
ern creamery, 21d22c; western. 2oap1c:
Vermont dairy, 1S@19c.
Old cheese is about done, but the re-
ceipts of new cheese are moderate, and
choice full cream is firmer. York

13c: new cheese, 10411c.
Receipts of eggs have been liberal,
hut the demand for cold storage has
been active, and prices have been very
steadily held. 1t is reported that more
eggs have been put into cold storage
than was the case last year, when the
storage people were so badly struck.
Choice hennery and nearby, 21@22c;
eastern, 10000; western, 17@1Sc.
Business. as q whole, has been fairly
good in the local wholesale fruit and
vegetable market. Almost all kinds of
fruit are high. and garden and farm
truck is no cheaper than it usually is
at this time of the year. The buying,
for this reason, has fallen off some
what.
Apples have not changed much.
= Bakers have been once more almost the
only buyers. The home demand has
been smaller than it usually is at this
season. because the number Of retail
ers who handle apples is smaller than it
has been in former years. Choice
strawberries are wanted, but only
very small proportion of the recent ar
rivals can be classed as such. Most Of
the offerings have been hard, small and
seedy. Cherries have appeared in the
market, but they are high and do not
sell well. A few muskmelOns from
Florida arrived and sold at $4@5
crate.
Asparagus has been scarce and under
a steady demand it has had an upward
tendency. Extra large stock has
brought as much as ST box. The sea-
son for Jersey asparagus is practically.
over and there is little of it here. Tex
as onions are doing little better, but
there is no improvement in the call for
Egyptians. Elephants and peppers are
scarce. String beans are more plenty
and somewhat easier. Cucumbers are
firmer. Spinach and .kale are in heavy
supply and cheap. Dandelions are
rather scarce and high Only the best
tomatoes have any call and such lots
are few. Peas are irregular in quality
and only the best are in demand. Tur-
nips are firm. Receipts of old. potatoes
are light and they are little higher.
| New ones are scarce and higher.
Sweet potatoes are not much wanEed
and have to be worked off at very low
prices.
