Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

Boston, Feb. 5.-Butter is still quiet,
with prices about 1c under last week.
The supply is ample for the moderate
demand, and the tendency is still down
ward. Northern creamery, 2o1AG26c;
western creamery, 25@2512c; dairy, ~
Q22c.
Cheese is very firm, with a fair de-
mand and light receipts. York state, IA
@1412c; Vermont twins, 131a014c.
The egg market has been in buyers
favor most of the week, but the cold
weather has stiffened up the market
little, and if it continues, will undoubt-
eddy bring about an advance. Choice
hennery and nearby, 24Q25c; eastern, q
022c; western, 10000; refrigerator, II
@15c.
Dealings in the local fruit and vege-
table market were larger than they
had been before in some time, but there
is still room for much Improvement.
Supplies, as rule, are not excessive
and prices generally are firm. But
domestic onions are very cheap; the
market is overloaded with ordinary
stock, which it is hard to sell even at
what seems to be ridiculously low
prices. The best lots from the Con-
necticut river region bring only $1QA
125 per two-bushel bag, and poorer
ones are as low as SOC bag. Nearby
onions are offered as low as 40c bush
ell, and it is not easy to get soc for
even the best lots. The excessive sup
ply seems to exist in other parts of the
country as we'll
The demand for apples has been
rather slow. Several lots that were in
tended for export were put on sale here
because of lower prices across the wa
ter.
Potatoes have been pretty quiet. Re
ceipts have been quite large. CabbageS
are in full supply and the outside price
is not realized very often. Celery is
steady. Cucumbers are scarce and
high String beans have advanced, but
most kinds of greens are lower Let
tuce has worked down. Tomatoes are
trmer and foreign onions have gone up
a little. Turnips are steady. Peppers
are in light supply and firm. Squashes
are firmly held. Rhubarb and cauli-
flowers are cheaper.
