Provisions.
Butter-The market still remains
firm and the tone Of the situation in
dieates an advance. There is fair
demand but the prices remain the
same as last week in the local mar
ket creamery, 35c and 37c; eastern,
35c and sec; country choice 25@2Sc.
There was no interesting features to
the butter market in New York dur.
ing the past week. the tone being gen
orally steady, with a continued scare
ity of fine creamery, although at
times there was not near enough of
this stock to supply the immediate
needs of the smallest buyers. Prices
remained unchanged to the middle of
the week. There was material i'm
provement In the quality of the UNI
degrade butter coming but at that
trade was slow on account of the high
prices ruling. Some advances in price
were noted on fancy grades of cream
cry butter at Chicago, but these were
very scarce and arrivals showed ma
jority of goods that did not grade
higher than a first. Storage goods
commenced to move a little more free
ly owing to high prices asked for fresh
, butter
Eggs-There has been no material
change in the situation this week out
side of slight drop in the quotation
!, of fresh ranch at $12, but the increased
receipts gives an indication for fur
Their decline in the near future. At
/, New York the frmness that character
lied the market at the close Of last
week held fairly steady during the fore
part of the present week but finally
eliminated in drop of two cents a
: dozen all along the line. The mar.
ket on storage eggs was higher than
b 1t has been at any time this season.
The egg situation at Chicago showed
no great change compared with the
past several days, the demand contin.
ued rather quiet, and as there was no
! great change in temperature there
:, was no good reason for raising prices
. to higher level.
:, Poultry-The holiday trade has
!. been good in the poultry line, with
E stocks just about holding even with
) the demands in turkeys and geese, but
: chickens have been coming to hand
: more plentiful. Nevertheless there
: has been a slight increase in quota
: tions in all three of these items
Wholesale quotations are: Chickens
:, 15c; turkeys, 26c; ducks, Ice; geese
:, Ice.
Fresh Meats-Mutton and sprint

IS Fruits and Vegetables.
~ Apples-There has been nothing ney
- in the local market situation durin
- the past week as concerns the appl
trade. The apple market at Ney
- York continued splendid on the docks
- and the movement of cold storag

p never known such heavy draw upo
the coolers in December before tn
trade is taking stock, but great man

p Pears are practically out of the ma

Up Potatoes-The local market remain
IT stationary as to Irish varieties, bl
az sweets are firmer at $3.50 per hui
IN dred. At New York the market is
op pretty bad condition with an embarg
OF placed on certain stocks. The deman
