IN BOSTON MARKETS
Quotations on Leading Pro-
ducts In Demand

| The cheese market is little firmer
Choice New York state, 16h @16& c;
Vermont, 16@16Ac.
The receipts of eggs are falling off
and prices are advancing. Choice
hennery and nearby, 39@4Oc; eastern
extras, 35Q36c; western, 27@32c.
1t has been a rather uninterestine
week in the local fruit and vegetable
market. Trading has not had the
snap that it would have had if the
weather had been really cold, and
stuff is coming to market rather more
freely than usual at this season of the
! year.
Fancy apples are still but small
proportion of the receipts and are
still high, but plenty of good cooking
apples are to be had at low prices.
Choice sound potatoes are not
plenty, but poor ones are abundant
! end prices have low range. Maine
has much smaller crop of potatoes
than last year, but good crop was
| raised in the rest of the country. AS
the Maine potatoes are-rather poor,
they will probably rule low, especial
| ~ as there promises to be only light
demand for them from other sections
of the country.
