In Demand

firm, in sympathy with New York and
outside markets. but the trade Is very
slow to respond and prices are steady.
Jobbing prices are: Choice northern
creamery, 3OM31c; western, 21@29c;
Vermont dairy, 24M2Gc.
Cheese is steady and unchanged,
with fair demand. York state, 15h
QlGHc; Vermont. l4hM15kc.
Eggs stlffaned up little under the
influence of cooler weather, but the
supply Of fresh gathered and nearby
eggs is still large. and the trade is not
ready to pay former high prices just at
present. Choice hennery and nearby
eggs. 32M34c; eastern extras, 30d32c;
western. 2Sd30c; rcfrigera tors, 20d22c.
No improvement has been seen in the
loca fruit and vegetable market. The
movement of potatoes has been good,
and the market for apples has been per
haps slightly better. Other things have
sold slowly and in small lots.
Sweet potatoes are held at high
prices. There is little call for them,
and the arrival Of n few hundred bar
rels would send the market off. String
beans, cabbages, celery and squashes
are firm. but cucumbers are duh and
weak. and lettuce. onions, spinach and
turnips are easier.
Some receivers report n slight i'm
proyement in the apple market There
is always market for fancy fruit, but
il is medium and low grades that trou-
BILE dealers. Pears are gradually dis
appearing from the market,
Potatoes have cleaned up well and
have gone up little. There is a SLOW
and Indifferent demand for onions and
tomatoes are not much called for
Squashes are scarce and high. Gu
cumbers are not really plentiful. but
there are more than enough to meet
wants.
