Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand

Boston, Jan. 3.-There is a quiet de-
mand for butter, but prices are very
firmly held at the recent advance.
Choice northern creamery, 31@32c;
western creamery, 30@31c; Vermont
dairy, 25@2Sc.
Cheese is quiet but steady, and prices
are unchanged. York state, 14W15c;
Vermont, 13014c.
There has been a sharp decline in the
price Of eggs under liberal supplies and
light demand. Refrigerators are COM
ing out freely, and this is hurting the
trade in fresh laid. The quotations are:
Choice hennery and nearby, 36Q3Sc;
eastern extras, 33035c; western, ESQ
Doc; storage, 2402Gc.
Trading has not been very active in
the local fruit and produce market
Prices undoubtedly would have worked
lower if supplies had been larger, but
the Christmas buying left the market
quite bare and receipts since, pafucu-
larly Of southern truck, have been light.
\ cold wave in the south has cut down
shipments from that section, and SPIN
ach, string beans and Florida oranges
command rather stiff prices in this mar
ket. Strawberries and pineapples re-
main cheap, but the demand is not
large. Native products are fairly plenty
and steady,
1t has been poor week for apples.
Real fancy fruit has been moderately
active and there has been fairly goou
call for cheap lots, but medium grade
stock has been neglected. Prices do not
change much, but a firmer feeling IS
apparent in baldwins, and greetings
! have been marked up little,
Potatoes have continued quiet, but re-
| ceipts have fallen off somewhat and a
slightly steadier feeling is noted
Sweet potatoes are dull, but arrivals
are not heavy and the market seems to
be cleaning up fairly well. Strung
beans. spinach and kale are scarce and
high and the market for celery is very
firm. Cabbages are moderately active
and steady. Onions are plenty and the
ton quotations are obtained only or
choice large stock Squashes and tur
n:ps are firm. and cucumbers and toma
toes remain high.
