Country Produce Markets
NEW YORK. Friday.

BUTTER--Little business was
transacted yesterday because of the
previous holiday, as buyers were
scarce The receipts of butter have
been light compared with last week,
but about equal to the same week
year ago. There is no surplus of fine
table stock, but enough to meet the
demand so that premiums are not
sought or paid as freely as ordinarily.
The rub of the market are the I'M
dergrades. These are urged out In
cessantly and at cut prices and still
they do not move. All top grades of
butter clear up. but undergrades drag
and accumulate. Second grades of
State dairy are down 1c. Process is
inactive and unchanged. Packing
stock slow with considerable accu-
mutation. Foreign butter Is accumu-
lating because IL is not moving. I'm
ports continue and spectators are
apt to lose unless market takes up
turn. Quotations are: Creamery, ex-
23ia @261hc; held extras, soms2c. firsts,

with trade. There were but few buy
ers yesterday. as the jobbers had

EGGS-Among the receipts are a
few more good fresh eggs than have
been noted prev ously, and summer
weather In the producing sections en-
courages the receivers to believe that
the hens will lay more freely via IN
short time unless there are seM o
billiards.. There Is not that scarcN
of high-grade fresh as noticeable til !
first part Of the week. Buyers are
not anxious to take on stock, because
OF the high prices, and trading was
dull yesterday, as it always Is after a
holiday. Storage eggs are unchanged,

trading yesterday; only 10 freight cars

DRESSED POULTRY-with the
Thanksgiving trade over there was
little doing yesterday. Many of the
receivers are getting back sh pments
made to the country of turkeys which
were not up to grade. The good tur-
keys we're so thoroughly cleaned up
for Thanksgiving that there was none
on the market yesterday and dealers
had calls for n few. Next week will
see more good turkeys coming. There
was a better demand for fancy roast
Ing chickens yesterday and market
was firmer. Fancy fowls were also
wanted. For ducks and geese the de-
mand was small, but there is no great
accumulation. No change in squads,
and guinea hens are firm. Quota
tons are: Turkeys. Maryland. Della
ware and New Jersey. fresh killed.
