MINNEAPOLIS PRODUCE

are securing a nice premium over the
figures secured year ago. At that time
creamery extras were quotable at 201a |
cents, while today the local market is
extremely firm at rs. cents; : .Oth hg
vance,, and on the whole the outlook
seems favorable for maintenance of
present conditions. Local stocks are
kept reduced to low basis on all
grades, the call for firsts showing up
much more heavily than for some time
past. Diaries are sold out on arrival:
arrivals are not heavy enough to: cause
buyers to 90 after it to- the extent OF
advancing paying prices: ..,
Eggs also show up strongly, and at
nearly a dollar per case higher than a
year ago. This means much to the pro,
Queer, being an average OF about
cents per dozen higher than in 1905;
weather set in, and there is no diff
Guilty experienced in moving out goods
on arrival. Cooler stock is being with
drawn freely-altho going mostly to
non-producing districts and not as yet
coming into much competition locally
with fresh arrivals. No. / April stor-
age are selling by the car at $3.50 to
those figures on Friday. Il, .eg.t4 :.
High prices promise to- develop, IN
the cheese market within the next thir-
ty days. Fancy makes are well re
duced locally, and. makers are main
tanning a very firm range OF asking
prices on the current make. Medium
and low grades are in moderate supply,
on the entire list Cheese is now com,
paratively cheaper than sDutter, and
makers will insist upon higher figures
or hold the goods until buyers are will
! ing to pay the price. -. =.
No changes were shown in the prices
on poultry for several days past. The
demand has been fully equal to arrivals,
maintaining the steady range. Some lots
of dressed stock have come in, selling
slightly better than quotations on live,
but shipping in this manner is hardly
advisable until cold weather can be de-
pended upon. Farmers who intend to
market turkeys at Thanksgiving, which
! is only about six weeks ahead, should
begin fattening at once. Thin stock is
not wanted at that time, and might bet
ter be kept at home. Veal has sold well
all the week-and the outlook is IA
vorable for the future at about the the
same figures as are ruling today.
Carlot trade in potatoes has been cut
down to some extent by the. moderate
marketings. The supply has not been
equal to demand, but shippers have not
been able to advance paying prices
without. blocking the outlet. Cabbage
and onions are steady, with good
movement out on both. Green veg
etables are advancing on some lines.
A fine movement is reportable on ap:
pies. Every condition is favorable, and
thousands Of cars are now moving, to
be ultimately placed among northwest
ern dealers. Quality is fine, prices are
low and the supply heavy. The cal
! for small lots shows up strong as ever
but will fall off as soon as CARROTS are
placed among dealers, most Of whom
will take in several for future distri

season is nearly at an end. Llbera
supplies are still in sight to be cleaned
up, with no demand to speak of.
