New York Produce Market

BUTTER-Bad conditions of The
streets continue to interfere with de-
liveries, and trading was light yes
terday. The market was irregular.
but fairly firm, because OF the small
supply of fancy fresh butter. Rail
road deliveries are slow. and there is
great deal OF butter in transit that
will reach the market late this week
or the first of next week, and it will
surprise no one to see prices lower.

stock, but buyers are taking only
what they are compelled to use from
day to day. Prices follow: Creamery

EGGS-Better conditions in produc-
ing sections and larger receipts were
responsible for a decline yesterday of
