The best lots of September cheese are

held. York state, Is 1-2@16 lie; Yer
mont, IA 1-2@15 Lee.
Eggs have broken very badly under
full receipts and lower markets in New
York and the west. Choice hennery

The wholesale apple market has been
almost QemOralized. For a .on:, time
| local dealers have had on hand more
| apples than they needed and they have
| tried hard to sell them, but their hold
| ings have not decreased much. In the
| past few days they have made sharp
! cut in prices; this has increased the
| demand somewhat, but the shipments
from the country have been coming in
steadily and the local supply is still as
| large as ever and dealers are willing to
accept the best price offered. The out
| look is not very encouraging. The APP
| pie season will last until about the mid
die Of June and there will be a great
-Gsh to sell for fear that the fruit will
i not be good as late as that: consequently
| higher prices seem unlikely.
Except for apples the local fruit and
vegetable market is in fairly good
| shape. The demand for vegetables is
gradually expanding with the approach
| Of spring. Fruits have been d shade
quieter, but they are far from dull.
| Cranberries are gradually working out,
| although there is plenty of ordinary
stock; good berries sell readily at SIG
there is no demand to speak of for poor
| lots. Receipts of strawberries have in
| creased little. but they are not plenty
enough to bring about much lower
| prices.
| The market has been quite well sup
| piled with southern and greenhouse
| truck. String beans alone are really
scarce, but it is little early for large
supply. Cabbages are very plentiful,
| and cheap. Celery is not very plenty
and prices are rather stiff, but cucum-
bers are in good supply and easy. The
market is Overstocked with kale, but
spinach and other green's are we'll clean
ed up. Spinach is of good quality. On
| ions are weaker, but no lower than
they have been. White turnips are a
| bit easier but yellow ones are firmer.
Rhubarb is getting more plenty. Pota-
toes do not change much; the arrivals
are rather small, but quite sufficient
for wants. Primary markets are firm,
