Vermont dairy, 24d26c.
The cheese market is still quiet and
easy. The market has been overload
ed lately with part skins, and prices
on all grades have been affected. York
state, 1JG16c; Vermont, 14hG154c.
Eggs are firm for all fresh gathered
stock, as receipts are light. Refrig-
orators are being offered very freely,
but the demand is only fair. Choice
hennery and nearby, 43@44c; eastern
extras, 39d40c; western, 25d29c; choice
cold storage, 20d22c.
The local fruit and vegetable market
is still dull, though some dealers think
they can see a slight improvement
There has been no increase in the de-
mand for apples, and as they have been
coming along quite freely, receivers
have been obliged to take very low
prices in order that the supply might be
kept down. Some very good fruit has
sold at S1.50d2 a barrel that under or
binary conditions would have brought
50cdS1 barrel more. Large ship
ments have been made to other domestic
markets and to foreign centers, but the
supply is still heavy and prices are
easy.
The edge has been knocked off the
market for cranberrieS. Buyers from
the west, on account of the pinch in
money, have ceased buying, and grow
ers had no other recourse but to ship
their fruit to this city. The demand has
not increased as fast as the receipts,
and, in consequence, prces have
dropped. Grapes are in fairly good de-
mand and higher and firm in the lack
of large supplies.
Receipts of potatoes are large, but
they do not include a great many good
ones. The quotations below are for
choice stock, and most sales are at be-
low those figures. Sweet potatoes are
higher and firm under light arrivals
and a good demand. String beans are
somewhat easier than they have been,
but there is a steady market for cab
bages, celery and lettuce and fancy GU
cumbers are firm. Onions do not
change much, but squashes have grown
pretty firm during the past few. days.
Turnips are steady.
