jobblng prices are: Choice northern
creamery, 25d26hc; western cream
cry, 24a25c; Vermont dairy, 23W24c.

well supplied. The quotations are:

The past week has been another busy
one in the local fruit and vegetable mar
ket. The demand has been active and
well distributed and the market has
seldom been cleaned up better. The
movement of vegetables has been quite
as general as that in fruits, and changes
H. prices have been numerous. Nearly
all kinds Of fruits are higher, but gar
den truck generally is cheaper than it
has been.
Fancy new potatoes sell well at full
prices. but ordinary stock is dull and
easy. and q further cut has been neces-
sary to stimulate the demand for old
stock. The season on asparagus is on
the wane: arrivals are not large and the
inquiry is only moderately active.
There is a good. firm market for choice
sound cabbages. and cucumbers are
higher under light receipts and good
demand Lettuce is plenty and easy.
| Onions are steady and fairly active,
but squashes are dull and weak. Toma-
toes are scarce and firm, and the few
| fancy lots of peas coming forward
command high prices. String beans
are in good supply, but they hold up IN
| der a lively demand. Spinach is cheap
and turnips, beets, parsnips, elephants
and peppers are lower than they nave
been.
