New York Produce Market
Yesterday.


BUTTER-With few deliveries and
jobbers demanding fancy fresh butter.
the price was shot up yesterday 21zc
a pound, and this price is likely to
hold for day or two because of the
lack of fine fresh stock II was al
most impossible for the railroads 10
make delivery and all incoming
freight was behind. But little butter
was sold and 1t was difficult to deliver.
Should the fresh stock hold back sew
eral days it will help the storage
goods. There was an advance on all
grades yesterday, even including
packing stock, which has dragged for
some time. Prices follow: Creamery

rent make, No. 2, 181sc; No. 3, 16q18e.
CHEESE-There was little trading
yesterday because Of weather condi-
tions and jobbers were busy with
other matters, so cheese was some
what neglected. The week opened
with last weeks closing prices, ex-
cept fresh skins, which were off l5c.

held, choice. 11012hc;. skins, fresh.
good to choice, 10K@11Ac; poor to
fair, 60f0c.
EGGS-A general advance of 1c was
caused largely by a scarcity of stock
without frost. Deliveries were SO
irregular that buyers would not take
stock unless delivery was guaran-
teed, and receivers could not guar
antee deliveries without extra COM
pensation. Weather conditions were
largely responsible for the advance.
Refrigerators were up 1lac, and Ii
was difficult even to get this stock
from the coolers into the hands of
jobbers. Prices follow: Fresh gath
cred extras, 32c; extra flrsts, ale;
firsts. S0@301sc; seconds, 2S1s@291sc;

grades, 20@23c; European, fresh, 120
dozen to case, fair to prime. 25m27c.
LIVE POULTRY-Heavy snow pre-
vented much business yesterday.
Only cars were unloaded and 1t was
difficult to get this under the sheds.
The poultry suffered from the wealth
ed. Streets were blocked and stock
In transit greatly delayed. 1t is like
ly that not over rs carloads will be
available this week and perhaps not
that many. These conditions make
higher markets almost sure. Prices
were not settled yesterday and there
are no quotations.
DRESSED POULTRY = Deliveries
were uncertain yesterday and dealers
could not deliver with any certainty.
So long as butchers were unable TO
have stock delivered they bought lit
tie. There were but few deliveries to
receivers from the piers. Invoices in
dictate light receipts all week, and
with the storm prevailing, it Is diff
cult to tell whether there will be sup
plies enough to go around. However,
there is plenty of stock in the freezers
which can be resorted to in case the
fresh killed does not arrive. There
was little reason for changing quota
tons from the close of last week, al
though fowls were 1ac better because
of the fear that there would not be
enough fresh stock to meet later de-
mand. Fowls were the only line
changed. Quotations are: Turkeys,
Western dry picked, average best
23@24c; Western scalded, fancy, 25c;
