Quotations on the Leading
Products In Demand


Boston, May There is an easier
market for butter, and prices declined
Sc in sympathy with New York and the
west. The new jobbing quotation are:
Choice northern creamery, 31M33c;
western creamery, 30M32c; Vermont
dairy, 27W2Dc.
Cheese is firm and unchanged for old
stock, with moderate supply Offering
a little new cheese is coming forward,
but is hardly quotable. as the quality is
still poor. York state, IA 3-aQ1Oc; Yer
mont, 14M14 34c.
Eggs have been very steady, quota
tons being nomnally unchanged. The
receipts have been liberal. but the de-
mand has been good, and all surplus
has gone into cold storag &c. Choice hen
merry and nearby, 22M23c; eastern ex-
tras, 10000; western, 1TikM19c.
The week has been a rather unsatis-
factory one in the local fruit and vege-
table market. Business at the best has
been only moderately active and the
dealings in vegetab les have been con
slderably below the normal volume for
this season OF the year. Many kinds
OF garden truck have been scarce and
Delays in the transit Of goods and their
consequent deterioration have bothered
dealers. Fruits have not been active,
but business has been as good as could
be expected while prices are 60 high.
White potatoes are firm and tending
higher under light arrivals and brisk
demand. A few lots of new potatoes
from Florida have been received, but
prices have hardly been esta bl shed yet
Sweet potatoes are dull. but steady,
owing to the lack Of large supplies. As
paragus was scarce and sold rs high as
$14 dozen punches. Later the supply
was larger and prices were a little
easier. Cabbages are rather firm. and
spinach and ksle are high. String
beans are not plenty, but wax beans
are in fairly good supply Cucumbers
are easy and lettuce has dropped lit
tie. Onions, especially Egyptians are
firm; natives are almost exhausted
Squashes are selling 4 little better and
prices have worked up somewhat. To
matoes are fairly plenty. in light de
nand and rather easy. Turnips are
firm. Rhubarb IS scarce and dear.
