Some little surprise was occasioned in
the decision to continue butter at the
price OF 81 cents. Last week so neavy
was the production. In addition TO a
noticeable falling OF In demand, that il
had been generally anticipated The price
would be lower this week
Receipts of poultry were reduced al
nest TO a minimum and frozen goods
held the market to its old quotations.
Had IL not been for the supply OF this
class OF fowls the poultry market would
have SCARED III all grades OF prices to-

produce, the price being the same as
yesterday. Veal calves ruled at from 81
&c cents pound.
