IN HUB MARKETS
Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

prices are very firmly held, but there
is full supply Of lower grades, and
on anything except the best the market
| is easy. Northern creamery, 25Lam2Gc;
! western creamery, 25@25Mc; dairy, 20
M22c
There is very steady market for
| cheese. and as all the stock here was
! bought at high prices, holders are not
willing to make any concessions. All
available stocks are likely to be wanted
| before the season is over Prices are
| maintained. though buyers are holding
| Off. York state, 14M14Ac; Vermont
| twins, 13h@14c.
The egg market has reacted little
from the low point on western fresh
and refrigerator stock. However
prices are still very low, and the season
is now so far advanced that there is
little chance Of extreme prices again.
| The demand is moderate. Choice
hennery and nearby, 1NQ2lc eastern,
17M1Sc; western, GaMl7iac; refrigera
tors. 12M1
The local fruit and produce market
!
tables have had rather better sale
than fruits. but that is because Of the
stiff prices of the latter. The market
has been well supplied with garden
and farm truck. Cabbages, cauli-
flowers and lettuce have stiffcncd. but
potatoes, cucumbers and string beans
have worked lower.
hnen st
ment Of apples and under constantly
lessening supplies they have moved up
a little more. Fancy Baldwins have
sold at 81 barrel but that quotation
is still little high for the general run
Of offerings. Because of the higher
prices here. shipments from this city
to the south and abroad have been very
light. Although the Baltimore market
is still taking good many sweeta
pies, Kings are no longer quoted
There are few barrels here but the
new arrivals do not amount to much.
There has been n full supply of po
tatOeS. Sweet potatoes were light and
firm. but they eased off later under
larger arrivals. Cabbagee have been
in good demand, and with decreasing
supplies they have moved up: new
cabbages from the south are now in
the market at $50 a crate. Cucum-
bers have dropped under larger ar
rivals.
