Country Produce Market

BUTTER-There was little traulnB
yesterday, and the market opened
about as 1t closed Saturday. and no
change in price was made in many
grades. There seems TO be enough
fine butter to meet the demand. Re-
ceivers continue to urge the sale of
undergrades. Receipts yesterday were
A, O64 packages, aboS an average Mon
days supply. The undergrades, pro-
cess, factory and packing stock were
inactive and little sought from any
source. Tt requires active trading to
move the undergrades. There is not
much prospect for a change in quota
lions until after the new year. Quo
tations are: Creamery extras, $500
371se; firsts, 2S@34c; seconds, 24@2712c;

CHEESE-Feeling was firm and
trading light. Outside cities are maxi
ing some inquiry for cheese, which
gives the receivers courage to keep
their held stock, as they anticipate
q further rise. There is firm feel
ing for medium grades, while Skins
are quiet and prices the same as the
close Saturday. Prices are: State,
held, special, Tic; average fancy, 16c;
undergrades, 19@15Ac; daisies, held,
best, lie: skins, held, specials, 1870
1Ss4c; held choice, 1101215c; Skins,
fresh, good to choice, 101s@1117c;
poor to fair, 6@10c.

1c ON all fresh stock, both Western
and nearby, and 1ac advance on held
and foreign. The only eggs not
changed were the foreign lined
stock, fair to prime. The range on
foreign eggs is broad. Under the
call at the Mercantile Exchange yes
terday there were 100 cases of extra
firsts, buyer to January IS. at 36c.
One operator says that he refused
Sic for 1000 cases of refrigerators.
There were q number of sales of re-
frigerator eggs in various parts OF

LIVE POULTRY-Contra to GUS
tom prices on live poultry were fixed
Yesterday, on the basis of chickens
f41sc and fowls 151ac. This is the
same price at which the stock closed
Saturday There were 81 cars by
freight and cars by express unload
ed yesterday. Receivers held 20 cars
over on track and the invoices indi-
cate 145 to 155 cars for the week.
There were 80 cars carried over Sun
day and there seems to be no par
ticular hurry to take on fresh sup
plies. There were not enough turkeys
in the market to jutify quotations.

14@14hc; fowls, 15@151ac; old roost-

lac; guinea fowls, pair, Csc; pigeons,
pair, zoe.
DRESSED POULTRY-Receip yes
terday, 1000 pkgs., which is about a
normal amount. AS is always the case
after Christmas, the market was quiet
and unsettled There is a feeling of
firmness, especially for selected young
hen turkeys. There is some specula-
tive demand for fine young toms, but
little of this stock is going into direct
consumption Maryland turkeys were
sold as high as 27c, but they were
strictly fancy, plump breasted birds.
There is an ample supply of chickens
and fowls, with slow trade and a
weaker feeling. Plenty of ducks and
geese, with a light demand. SQUADS
and guineas are unchanged. Quota
tions are Turkeys, Maryland, Della
ware and New Jersey, 24@25c; Vir-
