Country Produce Market
NEW YORK.. Frida

BUTTER-There was one sale I'M
| der the call of the Mercanti Ex-
| change of fancy extras yesterday at
377sc, and another of so tubs at 37hc
| so the market quotations We're left
unchanged for this grade. There
was little better feeling for seconds
In creamery and they advanced &c
| Aside from this there WIS no change
in quotations. The market is top
heavy on stock under extras and the
dealers are at loss TO know just how
the denominations are going into con-
sumption. A number feel as though
there Is break In sight for this class
of butter. Ordinarily IL would pass
for good table butter, but there are
enough buyers of technical high grade
stock to cause this lower grade to
drag Trading yesterday was light
and will be today There was q little
tirmer feeling on held extras, but not
strong enough to cause an increase
in price. Process is steady, while the

EGGS-F'resh stock was UP yester-
day, hc, with firm feeling all along
the line Nearby stock is scarcer and
up &c. There was also an advance on
refrigerator stock of nc. Trade seems
to want held eggs instead OF the fresh
at present prices. The only weak
feature of the market is the stock
from Europe. This is accommodating
with heavy invoices on the way. I'm
favorable weather in producing sec
lions will probably shut off laying.
Although there Is a quantity OF eggs
on the way. local cities must be sup
piled before the eggs are permitted
to go TO the larger consuming centres
