IN BOSTON MARKETS
Quotations on Leading Pro-
ducts In Demand

Boston, April 5.-The butter market
Is quiet, but fairly steady, though the
tone Is not quite as firm as was noted
a week ago, Buyers are light, and no
immediate break in prices is antici-
pated. Jobbing prices are: Choice
northern creamery, S1@32c; western,
SO@31c.
The market for cheese continues
to hold firm, with choice lots clean
Ing up well at full prices York state,
l50l512c; Vermont, 14@1414c.
Western eggs have shown a little
more strength, but all grades are sell
Ing at full quotations, with a good de-
mand. Choice hennery and nearby,
22@23c; eastern extras, 21022c;
western, 21@22c.
The local fruit and vegetable market
took on a somewhat easier tone. AS
result of the favorable weather the
supplies were larger and the demand
was not quite as large as it has been.
Cabbages do not grow much cheaper,
and potatoes and apples remain pretty
firm. Strawberries have been coming
forward rather more. freely during
the past week, but the supply is not as
large as it was at this time last year.
Potatoes are coming along quite
freely, but the demand holds out and
they are firm. Seed potatoes are not
plenty this year, and cobblers are
oh
them freely early in the season and
kept back few for seed. Asparagus,
string beans and southern tomatoes
are in much better supply and cheap
err. Onions are firm, and old beets,
carrots and parsnips are getting rather
scarce and little higher. RhubarL
is steady.
