Quotations on Leading Products

Boston. March 5.-There is & little
easier feeling in the butter market,
though the jobbing quotations are nom-
inally unchanged. Receipts are still
moderate, or prices would break. The
5Obbing prices are: Choice northern
creamery, 32@33c; western creamery,
S1@32c.
The cheese market is cleaning up
well, and prices are firmly held at re-
cent quotations. York state, Is 100
Is 1-2c; Vermont, IA 1-2@15 1-2c.
Eggs advanced in Chicago, but this
market did not respond, and prices here
are now about 1c below those quoted
week ago. Choice hennery and nearby,
26M27c: eastern extras, 25@26c; west
ern, 24@25c: refrigerators. 10 1-2M21c.
There has been a good average bust
ness and some signs of spring activity
in fruits and vegetables in the local
malket The supply of goods has been
moderate and prices are firm, but not
unusually high. Carload lots of pota-
toes have not sold we'll at recent quota

coupled with heavy arrivals. has re-
suited in slight decline in prices. The
primary potato markets are no lower
than they have been. and it is believed
that local quotations will soon recover.
The apple trade is dull and unsatis
factory. There is plenty Of fruit from
Tl.SONd2.5O a barrel, but the demand is
for higher-priced fruit. Farmers
packed a good deal of fruit for market
last season that they ordinarily would
tHvr fed to livestock or used for cider
and vinegar; that condition accounts
for the poor market for low priced APP
pies. The cranberry season is closing;
only a few cranberries are being re-
ceived, but the demand is small at the
prevailing prices.
HOthOuSe truck continues in good
supply and quite reasona BILE, but re-
ceipts of southern garden products have
fallen off. Spinach is scarce and rather
high. Kale is in light supply but the
quality is poor and dealers have to take
low prices. Lettuce is plenty and
cheap, as it has been lately, but there is
not much native celery in the market,
and the supply OF string beans from the
south increases very slowly. All kinds
of root stock hold firm, and light ar
rivals have made tomatoes advance.
Cabbages are more plenty and easier
than they have been; a few have been
received from the south, but native
stock is much to be preferred. Onions
and turnips are higher than they have
been.
