New York Produce Market
Yesterday.

BUTTER-There was further de-
cline of 1c on best grades. and this
included all lines except packing
stock, which is so low that it seemed
impossible to get it lower. Not in
two years has the butter market been
so low as today, with a prospect of it
going lower. Retailers should sell
best table butter not over soc. Pack
ing stock has touched he, a figure
that has not prevailed for that grade
for eight years. Trading was light
yesterday, because lower prices are
expected every day. Receipts yester-
day were double those of a year ago.

| EGGS-The drop in prices greatly
increased consumption, and with the
chain stores offering Il to Ia fresh
eggs for q quarter 1t is causing a big
demand Every receiver was cleaned
up well last night, the market closing
firmer than in the middle of the day
or at the call on the Mercantile tiX-
change in the morning. Receivers are
expecting a little pinch before the

siVe demands. All eggs are fresh, as
