Quotations on Leading Pro-
ducts In Demand

western creamery, 0UWolc.
Cheese is steady, with good de-
mand for all choice lots. York state,
l5@15hc.
Eggs are firmer in New York, with
Chicago steady at the recent advance.
Choice hennery and nearby, 22W23c;
eastern extras, 21Q22c; western,
20@21c.
Apples have not had much life, but
there is a steady call for small lots,
and that sort of buying is sufficient,
as the supply is not large to sustain
prices; really fancy fruit is little
higher than it has been.
Potatoes have advanced little. The
receipts are about the average for this
time of the year, but the demand has
been active from both local and out
side sources. Cucumbers are plenty
and easy. Florida celery has been
coming in so freely that even scar
city of native celery has not prevent
ed the former from dropping. Cab
bages are still scarce; even southern
cabbages, which it was thought,
would be plenty by this time, are
hard to get. Spinach and kale have
been scarce and high all the week,
because of unfavorable weather. The
receipts of string beans also has been
small but asparagus is more plentiful.
Onions, squashes, tomatoes and tur-
nips have not changed much, but
beets, carrots and parsnips are grow
ing rather scarce and are firmer.
