Quotations on the LEADING
Products In Demand

of easier markets in New York and the
west. The new quotations are: Choice
northern creamery, 21@22c: western.
2Od21c; Vermont dairy, 1Sd19c.
Cheese has strengthened I'D a little
on new stock, in sympathy with
firmer market in the country. and the
best grades are materially higher.
York state. 13d14c; Vermont twins. 121b
Gl3c: new cheese, 10h@11kc.
Eggs are very firm, and though the
receipts are still large, the demand is
sufficiently active to keep current stocks
well down. The cold Asrage people
are taking good many eggs for stor-
age Choice hennery and nearby. 216
23c; eastern, 19G20c; western, 11019c.
All things considered, business is
fairly good in the local wholesale fruit
and vegetable market. Strawberries
have not been coming forward very fast,
and. under a good demand. very or
binary lots have fetched comparative
ly high prices. A few peaches have
been received, but they have been gen.
orally poor and too green to sell readily.
Watermelons are now in the market,
but they are high and the call for them
is limited Muskmelons are in fairly
good supply, but the demand is small.
The market for apples does not
change much. Bakers are taking good
many. and there seems to be slightly
firmer feeling, and lots which it was
hard to dispose of $3.50 barrel were
sold during the past week as high as So.
Receipts are small, and dealers have had
TO take out some of their cold storage
holdings. But few northern spies are
in the open market and quotations are
for those in storage. Grapefruit are
quiet. steady and unchanged. Cherries
are slightly firmer.
The movement of vegetables has been
decidedly better than that of fruits.
| Farm and garden truck, with the excep-
ton of asparagus, is fairly plenty and
! reasonable. Receipts of asparagus
have been small and with a steady de-
! mand as high as So a box has been
! obtained on fancy, large stock. Cab
| bageS have been coming forward freely
| and going out fast at low figures. Gu
! cumbers are in good request, and as
! they are not over plenty they bring
good prices. Onions are moving better
and they have gone up a little. Green
peas and string beans are lower under
increased arrivals.
