New York Produce Market
Yesterday.


BUTTER-sales yesterday were
good and so much of the fine table
butter is cleaned up that prices were
advanced 1sc. This sends table but
ter up to gle again, higher than it
was supposed it would go again this
winter. State dairies are also UP he,
while process, packing stock and held
were unchanged. It is believed when
deliveries can be made more prompt
ly and stock en- route gets into nor
mai channels that prices will drop
again. The present increase will cur
tail the losses which confronted many
receivers few weeks ago. Retailers
will increase their prices if butter
goes any higher. Prices follow:

EGGS-An easier tone pervaded the
market yesterday on liberal receipts,
and all high grade fresh were down
1kc. Jobbers were willing to take on
stock even with deliveries slow. Con-
sumers are demanding fresh eggs

ably increase in volume, prices ought
to decline There is little storage
stock left, and that is not active.
