There is a quiet demand for the best
lots of cheese, but quotations are
steadily held at York state, 154s@
161ac; Vermont, 14@@151ac.
The market has broken sharply on all
nearby and eastern eggs. The demand
is very small, as buyers are taking re-
frigerators on account of the lower
prices, and supplies of nearby stock are
accommodating. Such lower prices have
not been seen at this time for years.

Business has been at very low ebb
in the wholesale fruit and vegetable
market during the past week. The re-
tailers have been taking account of
stock, and have tried to dispose of the
goods on hand instead of making new
purchases Almost all the sales have
been in small lots. The average of
prices varies little from that Of week
ago.
The demand for apples still lacks
snap. and. althO" Oh, as a rule, they are
steady, some ads, notably sweet APP
pies. are cheaper than they have been.
The demand for Talman sweets is ex-
ceedingly slow, aud it is only by shad-
ing prices that dealers have been able
to sell them.
Potatoes have been moving well and
have held firm. Sweet potatoes have
been scarce and holders have been able
to name their own prices: There IS a
firm market for fancy string beans,
and celery and cucumbers have adj
vanced a little Cabbages, lettuce, on
ions, turnips, beets, carrots and par
ships are in good supply and steady.
Squashes are firm and tomatoes are 4
