In Demand

market for butter, with receipts in
creasing slowly. The jobbing quota
tons are: Choice northern creamery,
31@32c; western creamery, 3OM31c.
Cheese is ia moderate demand, but as
the supply is small prices are very
firmly held. York state, Is 1-2@16 1-2c;
Vermont, IA 1-2@15 1-2c.
Eggs have been in light supply and
prices have stiffened up little, partly
on this account and partly owing to the
fact that New York was higher. Choice
hennery and nearby, 27@2Sc; eastern
extras, 26027c; western, 25@26c.
The local fruit and vegetable mar
ket is gradually working toward a
spring basis, both in prices and trad
ing. Garden truck from the south has
been little scarce because of the cold
weather in that section of the country,
but the market is we'll stocked with
products from local greenhouses. Local
dealers are not receiving many straw
berries, but larger shipments are eX-
pected as soon as warm weather strikes
the SOUTH
The movement of apples has been
very slow and they are somewhat
weaker. There are lots of apples that
sell at $1.5O0225, but strictly fancy
fruit is not plenty and is high; retailers
prefer to pay high prices and get good
fruit rather than take the average Of
ferings at low prices.
Receipts of potatoes have not been
heavy, but they have been sufficient for
the demand, and prices have been rath-
er easy. The Maine producing sections
are said to be pretty we'll cleaned up
Prices at shipping points are firm and it
is not unlikely that local quotations
will work up. The receipts of green
string beans have increased little and
the price has gone down: wax beans,
| however, remain scarce and high. New
southern cabbages have begun to come
forward freely. They are large and
look good but are soft. For that reason
and beca use old native stock is plenty
the new cabbages are cheap. They usu-
ally start the season at about $3.50
crate, but now they sell at 81 .25@1.5O.
There is fair supply of celery from
Florida and California. but not much
native stuff. Cucumbers are tending
downward. because the supply exceeds
the demand. Kale and spinach from
the south have been scarce, but hot
house dandelions and beet green's have
been coming along well. Lettuce is
firmer; the receipts have been smaller
and there has been a big demand from
outside markets.
