IN HUB MARKETS
Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

Cheese is also very firm, but the
trade is quiet at quotations. York
state, 14@14Ac; Vermont twins, 1870
14c.
Eggs have declined still further I'M
der full receipts and a slack demand,
Choice hennery and nearby, 33@34c;
eastern, 2GQl3Oc; western, 25Q2Sc; re.
frigerator, 2UM22c.
Business has been extremely quiet
in fruits and vegetables. There has
been scarcely any snap to the demand,
and dealers have found it very hard
to attract buyers even to bargains"
This is very rarely busy time in the
produce market but according to
statements of various members of the
trade, former years seem big in con.
trast with current conditions. 1t is
hard to account for the dullness. The
weather has been favorable for a good
display and this usually brings bigger
sales by retailers. Prices hold up sur
prisingly well in view of the dullness
and large supplies.
Apples are generally firmer, not be
cause they have been in good demand,
but because receipts have been lighter.
Cranberres are up to $50 barrel
But few are coming, and at that price
there is not much call for them.
Grapes are firm. Pears, dates, figs and
nuts are not changed.
Potatoes are weaker. Receipts from
Maine have continued light, but the
stocks in reserve are pretty large and
the demand has been so small that re-
ceivers have been forced to shade quo
tations to make sales. Sweets are
steady. Arrivals are rather light, but
full enough for the requirements of the
trade. Cabbages are fairly plenty and
though not moving very freely are pref
ty steady. Fancy string beans are
scarce and bring full prices. Kale and
spinach are not having very lively
sale. Turnps are steady and squashes
are very firm. Onions and celery do not
change much. Radishes and lettuce
are little cheaper.
