Country Produce Market
NEW YoRK-THURsDAY.


BUTTER-Trading yesterday was
unusually slow and there was more
than enough high-grade fresh butter
to meet demand. AS a whole market
is weak and high grades easier than
any other day this week. Tobbers
are making inroad@ on held butter.
Several sales were made yesterday at
321ac, and as soon as this was gen.
orally known q number of owners Of
held stock were after the buyers and
offered large quantity at the same
price with no sales There was one
offer of $500 tubs at the price that
was paid yesterday without a sale.
Quantity of butter selling at SIC, the
outside quotation, is very small. I'M
dergrades of all kinds are slow, and
it is question what will finally be-
come of them. Process is unchanged
and factory and packing stock slow.

CHEESE-But little trading yester-
day and market dull. No change in

EGGS.--There is an accumulation of
fresh eggs for the first time In weeks.
Highest grade was easy and range
contracted, while flrsts, on which all
the market is based, were off We
Unless trade is better right away
there will be such an accumulation OF
fresh goods that prices must be cut to
put them into consumption Nearby
eggs are more plentiful and off &c.
Even refrigerators are down 12c and
difficult to move. European eggs are
accommodating and quiet. A big bunch
has been put in the coolers. Buyers
are taking but little stock, believing
that prices next week will be lower.

LIVE POULTRY-Prices were I'M
changed yesterday. with 10 cars by
freight unloaded and two cars by
express. About 10 cars were on track
not unloaded. The influx toward the
last of the week caused feeling to
be a little easier. Most of the buying
was done before yesterday. as the
slaughter houses began to kill last
night and the stock Is usually pur-
chased a day ahead. Price Is more
irregular, which shows q weaker mar
ket. Turkeys are in ample supply.
but 18c is the best that can be se-
cured for them. Quotations follow:

lac; guinea fowls. pair, 65c; pigeons,
pair, zoe.
DRESSED POULTRY-The supply
of turkeys yesterday of fresh arrivals
was rather disappointing. Larger re-
ceipts are expected today, as today
and tomorrow will see tire bulk of the
buying for the Christmas holiday.
There was more buying yesterday
than the day before, and 24c was the
top for selected Western dry picked,
while the Maryland. Delaware and
Jersey stock remained at 25c, but
weaker than earlier in the week.
Western sealded turkeys are off, but
If the buying is heavy today and to-
morrow and receipts moderately light
prices are apt to go up. All turkeys
arriving in good condition and show
more flesh than they did for Thanks
giving. The bulk of tho nearby sup
ply of best turkeys will not be in
hand before tomorrow, and perhaps
not till Monday. Most of this stock
comes by express and sells to the best
trade. There are but few iced tur-
keys. Good demand for large roasting
chickens and fancy heavy fowls.
while small stock sells slow. Old
ROSTERS could be sold IL they were in
ate supply and fairly easy. Quota
