Cheese is in moderate demand, but as
the supply is small prices are very
firmly held. York state, Is 1-2Q1G lie
Vermont, ii 12M15 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

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
bat the market is well 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 $1.5O12.25, 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 well cleaned up.
Prices at shipping points are firm and 1t
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 rea son
and because old native stock is plenty
the new cabbages are cheap. They usu-
ally start the season at about $3.50 a
crate, but now they sell at $1.2501. so.
There is fair supply of celery from

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 big demand from
outside markets.
