PRODUCE MARKETS.

Chicago, Dec. 10.-A decline of soc
per brl was made in prices for sweet
potatoes. Supplies were liberal, while
the demand was not so urgent as of
ly at firm prices. Current receipts con-
ttnue light and stocks on track are ex-
ceedingly small, For butter prices
were strongly held and lie advance was
made to retail dealers. There is an
excellent inquiry for extras in cream
cries. supplies of which are small, but
other kinds of butter, not good enough
to meet the requirements OF extras, are
slow sale and are in ample supply The
demand for eggs was not so urgent,
owing to the moderating temperatures
and supplies for the same reason were
larger. Quotations on round lots
ranged
