firm market for the best lots Of fresh
made northern creamery butter, but re-
ceiptS of western are increasing, and the
market Is easy for anything under the

northern creamery, 31@32c; western
creamery, 3O@31c.
Cheese is in fair demand at I'M
changed prices. York state, 10 1-2@
16 12c; Vermont, IA 1-2M15 lie.
Eggs We're slightly frmer in New
York and the west, but quotations are

market is unsettled as to values. Choice

tras, 10000; western, 17@1Sc.
The chief interest in the local fruit
and vegetable market is in apples. The
apple market is, if anything, worse
than it has been. and little hope is held
out for any material improvement in
the near future.
The market, except for apples, is
moderately active and satisfactory.
String beans are very scarce, and fancy
offerings go as high as $3.50 basket
| There is a good supply of other kinds
! of greenhouse and southern truck. and
prices are moderate. The weather in
the south has been very favorable, and
shipments of vegetables from that sec
ton have been large. Good spinach i.
particularly plenty and reasonable
Strawberries are more plenty anO
somewhat cheaper; they are of good
quality. although some of the late ar
rivals have been little soft. There il
not much business in cranberries.
A little asparagus has been received
from the south, but it is still luxury
Cabbages are plenty and cheap. Gu
cumberS are easy; local lighthouses are
turning out lot of cucumbers, and as
the demand is small, dealers have to
make prices attractive. Celery and let
tuce are not too plenty and are rather
firm, but onions are weaker and root
stock generally are easy. Potatoes are
weak, the receipts are not large, but
are more than sufficient to meet the de
mand. The New York potato market i:
not as strong as it has been; there are
believed, and consequently the demand
from that state for Maine potatoes has
fallen off. This change is reflected il
the Boston market.
