New York Produce Market

BUTTER-There was a steadier
tone to the market at the opening yes
terday morning and trading through
the day was good. There were no
transactions to warrant any change

the Mercantile Exchange 85 tubs of
extras were sold at soc; 25 at 30Ac.
Packing stock was a trifle weak and
there was no change in process.

EGGS-There was but slight reduc-
ton in the accumulation yesterday
and the market is In semi democrat
lied condition. 1t Is impossible to
sell the current receipts at quota
tons and storage stock is virtually
at standstill. Spectators are afraid
to take hold at present prices, as they
anticipate a further drop. If prices
are sufficiently cut the glut in New
York will soon clean up. Feeling was
trif1e better for high grade fresh al
the close. The nearby eggs were
also a trifie firmer. Prices: Fresh

LIVE PoULTRY-Thu far this
week 149 cars have been unloaded,
with 40 cars on track and 20 more
to arrive this morning. This Will
make 209 cars. I There were carried
over from last week rs cars, which
added to the 200 makes the supply
for the week 234 cars. This is the
largest supply of live poultry ever
received in a week In New York.
Its value from first hand is S702,0O0.
1t will not all clean up. Chickens
were easier by half q cent yester-
day, as were fowls. Quality of the
chickens unusually good. The feast
of the Passover occurs next we'd
nesday and O. large quantity OF
chickens will be used by the Jewish
population. Prices: Chickens. 14Am
15hc; fowls. 15@17c; old ROSTERS,

guinea fowls, pair, 50@62hc; pigeons,
pair, 20@25c.
DRESSED PoULTRY-The de-
moralization of the market contin-
ues. Receivers say that live poultry
is in such excessive supply that 1t
makes dressed poultry slow of sale.
Jobbers can buy dressed broilers
cheaper than live. The price of
dressed fowl is about the same as
live. 1t Is impossible for the receiv-
ers to clean up despite the fact that
receipts are barely normal. Vigorous
efforts have been made to clean up
frozen turkeys, but buyers are
scarce. The oversupply of fresh
killed chickens has hurt the frozen
chicken and fowl market, and they
closed dull last night. Prices; Fresh
killed spring turkeys, 15@25c; old, IL
@20c. Broilers, Philadelphia. fancy,
lbs. each, 2s@25c; Western broilers.
