butter under the Influence Of moderate
receipts and good demand. Prices

lew cheese. 12d14c.

well sustained. Choice hennery and
nearby, 21022c; eastern extras, 19d
2,ic; western. 17zM1Sc.
The fruit and vegetable market has
continued rather dull. The weather
everywhere has been unreasonable and
supplies have been so light that prices
nave kept considerably above their
formal level for this time of the year
che result has been that retailers have
bought very little.
Apples generally have been dull,
though cood fruit has had a fairly good
sale. Receipts are constantly decreas-
ng end stocks in cold storage are be-
nG gradually reduced so that. in spite
ii the Elh, demand. prices are well
sustained AID in some cases are little
higher than they were.
Potatoes. UaGer heavy arrivals and
,!ght demand. were rather weak, but
curing ;he Last few days there has
leeu lrc, shipping demand and
prices haze st.EtIgd again. New po-
t&;oes arc coming along fairly well, but
do not seI yecy br.Ekly. Sweet pOta
Toes dc not Change much; they are not
very p,entA and the demand is light.
Asparagus has been in large supply
and because Of Il slow demand has been
rather weak. String beans are scarce
and high. and cabbages, though more
plenty than they have Eeen, Go not get
much cheaper.
Cucumbers have dropped a little,
and spinach kaie. dandelions, rhubarb
and radishes are fairly reasonable.
Onions continue to sell we'll Ber-
mudas are rather scarce, but there is
fairly good supply from Texas, and
Egyptians are plenty. Native squashes
are steady, but southern summer
squashes are dull and weak.
