Quotations Cd the Leading
Products In Demand

Boston, June 2S-Butter has adj
vauced little, in sympathy with other
markets, but the demand is slack. as /
buyers are not ready to pay the higher
prices demanded. The quotations are: |
Choice northern creamery, 2lh@22hc;
western, 201a@21hc; Vermont dairy, II
02Oc.
There is a slightly firmer tendency
ir the market for new cheese. the best
lots having been advanced about lac.
York state, 10 3-4Q11 lac; Vermont, 10
G1O SAC.

stock now coming forward is not up to
the desired quality. Choice nearby and
fresh gathered stock is higher. Choice
hennery and nearby, 23024c: eastern,
19G2lc; western, 17d19c.
There has been a further expansion
in the movement Of fruits and vege-
| tables in the local market and it now
1 looks as though the activity which al
ways marks the summer months had got
fairly under way. Supplies have been
large and prices have ruled at such
an attractive buying level that dealers
| have had but little trouble in keeping
/ the market we'll cleaned up at all times.
/ The market is very short of apples,
/ and anything good sells quickly at good
prices. The demand, as a whole, how
| ever, is not large because of the abund-
ance of other and more seasonable o.
| ferings. Strawberries have been corr-
ing forward freely and cleaning up well,
but at rather low figures. Blackber-
| ries are in steady request, and when
fancy readily go in excess Of quota
lions. Cherries have dropped little.
but they are still rather dear.
Fancy string and butter beans fetch
good prices, but there are good many
lots that are so poor that the buyer can
name the quotation. Cucumbers have
advanced a little. The market is look
ing up on Egyptian onions, but Texas
lots are dull, except when choice and
sound New yellow turnips have made
their appearance. Peas are fairly plen-
ty. but they take a wide range as to
quality. Squashes are in good supply
and lower. Receipts of tomatoes have
been large, but the proportion of fancy
lots among the arrivals is small.
