PRODUCE MARKET
IS RATHER QUIET
QUOTATIONS ARE UNCHANGED
WITH LIGHT SUPPLIES
Butter and Eggs Are Firm at Former
Prices, Except Storage Stock
of Latter, Which Shows
Weakness

As was to be expected business on market
was inclined to duiness yesterday. The heavy
sales OF the days preceding Christmas. now
ever. had enabled dealers to avoid large sup
plies. and a result prices remained steady
all along the limo. IL s not likely that trade
will be very active during the current week.
After the first OF the year marked ina
rrovement Is expected
Apples registered no change, but as some or
the other fruits become scarcer the demand
will probably become more active. Grapes
were nrm with diminishing supplies. Malagas.
which were held back for several weeks for
the Christmas trade, are we'll cleaned up and
the stock on hand will not last much longer.
Orange stock somewhat lighter than
for the past week Demand was light. Quo
tations were firm
Potatoes continued weak. The fancy grades
held their own hut the inferior gained no
strength Arrivals were about equal to daily
consumption.
on account Of the strong movement before
the holiday and the small quantity received
yesterday poultry prices did not show any de-
probation.
The butter and egg situation continued un-
changed. Lower prices have stimulated the
demand for the latter, and though the ranch
variety held to their quotations the storage
stock exhibited some weakness. Butter In
most instances was sold at 77h cents for the
two-p pound roll but In few others went out
at 75 cents There were rumors OF another
advance, but 1t Is thought the lessened con-
sumption will be an obstacle to any such
action the part of those in control.
