PRODUCE MARKETS.

Chicago, Dec. 4-Sweet potatoes were
lower today. The high level Of prices
established recently has attracted con-
siderable produce to this market and
in consequence offerings today were
rather liberal and the large receipts
are expected to continue for some time
Ihe demand was no more than fair.
For Irish potatoes a good demand ex-
listed, with receipts rather small and
prices firmly held. \ slightly easier
feeling existed in the market for beans
was not so urgent as of late, while Of
1erings were fair. Butter and eggs sold
we'll at firm prices. Trade in poultry
was of fair volume at unchanged prices
beef was in liberal supply and prices
Of choice cuts were slightly lower
