Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

Boston, Nov. 1l.-Butter is quiet, but
prices are firmly held, especially on the
best fresh made stock. Choice north
ern creamery, 27@29c; western cream
cry, 26tQ28c; Vermont dairy, 23Q26c.
Cheese is Verg firm for the best Sep
TENDER make, but there is an easier
tone on late arrivals, though quota
tions are well sustained. York state
131a@14kc; Vermont, 13@14c.
Choice lots Of hennery and nearby
eggs continue to advance, and west
ern stock is also irmer, as recent ar
rivals are coming on the market in
better shape. The quotations are
Choice hennery and nearby, 38@42c
eastern extras, 35@3Sc; western, 27@
30c.
Dealings are still on light scale in
the local fruit and vegetable market
1t has been decidedly unsatisfac-
| tory week in the apple business. Re-
celpts have been very heavy and the
| demand decidedly slow. The foreign
markets have worked lower and cold
storage space is well filled. The result
| is that fruit, which, little while ago,
could have been shipped or stored, has
remained in the open market and sales
| at the outside quotations have been in
frequent
Cran5erries continue to advance, but
40 they work higher the demand falls
off. Retailers are NOT anticipating their
| Thanksgiving wants because they be-
lieve they will be able to buy cheaper
later on, but there are no indications
| just now of decline.
There is "a good demand for choice
fresh grapes, but poor lots have little
or no call. Sales of pears continue dis
appointingly small.
| Potatoes have had a steady sale at
unchanged prices. Cabbages are in
lighter supply and frmer but onions
continue to come forward freely and,
except when choice and of good size,
they are cheap. Caulfiowers and
brussels sprouts are plenty and easy.
Cucumbers, eggplants and string beans
are scarce, high and firm. Squashes are
doing a little better, but turnips are
easier.
