MARKET AFFECTED
BY N. Y. CONDITIONS
Prices in Suspense, and Deal
erS Await Movement
in Metropolis.

in Metropolis.
Exchanging conditions in the New
York market and uncertain weather
were responsible for the stationary
prices in the local produce market to
day. Every line Of commodity stood
practically at a standstill, and dealers
were slow in testing the tone Of the
market. That a change was pending
seemed to be instinCtively felt, but no
one would risk a prediction as 10 the
nature or extent Of il.
Briefly stated, eggs and poultry were
firm. with indications Of an advance:
vegetables were weaker in some in
stances, and all grades Of fruit met
with g generally heavier sale than any
other line of produce. There Is every
prospect Of fruit becoming weaker, but
it is now generally believed that eggs
VIII not go below the present quota
ton Of "a cents for several days.
Butter started of again today at the
quotation which has ruled I'm this com
modify for two weeks. Demand is
steady, ana the supply is barely suff-
Client TO hold the price where 1t is at
present. Every June creamery is sell
ing readily.
Shipments of turkeys showed a fall
ing off today. as a result Of the de-
mand in Eastern markets. Quotations
were firm, but did not adaynce.
