New York Produce Market

BUTTER-~Trading was light under
normal receipts. There is enough
fresh butter to go around. The only
quality urged diligently for sale is
held butter, and owners are not able
to place 1t, even at cut prices. Under
grades are difficult to sell. Process is
almost out of the running. Packing
stock Is not of as good quality as 1t is
later in the season, and the principal
users of packing stock have large
quantities on hand. Prices follow:
Creamery, extras, 26@251ac; f1rsts, 2S1A
6241sc; seconds, 22@23c; held extras,

light, being only $50 boxes, against
1883 for the corresponding day a
week ago. Top grades are steady,

EGGS-Weather conditions were
against trading, although there was a
fair amount of jobbing. Jobbers will
not take on any great quantity, claim
ing that II is better to walt to buy
from day to day, as prices are likely
to f1uctuate. The market was firm
yesterday, although receipts were
over 10000 cases. Receipts are ex-
pected TO go beyond 100000 dozen
this week. Duck eggs are in better
supply and prices are easier. Storage
packed eggs are arriving every day
to go into the coolers of New York
and Jersey City at range of 21d
211sc. Prices follow. Fresh gathered,

LIVE POULTRY-The market
opened firm with five cars Western,
four Southwestern and two South
ern by freight, with scattering lots
by express. Arrivals for the week
win likely exceed those of last by n
small margin, but good demand in
anticipated and yesterday shipments
were marketed on arrival. No quo
tations were established.
DRESSED POULTRY-A frac-
tional advance occurred in some lines
under light receipts, which were
about 1000 packages less than Mon
day week ago Trading as whole
however, was unsatisfactory. Most
all fowls are coarse and of uncertain
value. Old roosters steady. Squads
unchanged. Frozen poultry plentiful
but speculative element absorbed
400 boxes. Roasters dull and 1c
lower on all grades. Turkeys firmly
held under limited demand. Ducks
and geese dull.
