New York Produce Market
Yesterday


BUTTER-Tradlng was normal for
fresh but slow on held stock. with
lirsts and he extras up 15e. This Is
also true of the best process Ii
seems impossible TO move under
grades at any price and the heavy
accumulation of held stock is destined
to force prices down further and
cause heavier losses. There was
enough fine table butter TO supply the
demand. Prices follow: CT, amery,

EGGS-Trading was better than the
day before and large quantiti c. ang-
ed hands Many jobbers are holding
off until Monday and Tuesday for
their big supply for Easter Sunday,
with expectations that prices will be
lower. The feeling was firm in the
morning, but at the close II was
weaker. The accumulat ion does not
lean up. The demand for seconds
increased the price NC. Duck eggs

LIVE ULTRY-Receivers are at
sea over the failure of the daily price
currents to quote the market. II is
Utmost impossible to get accurate in
formation, but sales of fowls were re-
ported from 1902lc, wide range,
iomething which has not heretofore
been tolerated in quotations. Demand
vas fairly good for heavy fowls. Only
seven cars were unloaded yesterday,
With sixteen more on track. Fowls
19021c; ROSTERS old and young. 1S@
13hc; turkeys, 1sc; geese, Western
and Southern, llG1'hc
DRESSED POULTRY-There was
better trading and prices advanced as
a rule 15c. with prospects of there
being a further advance. There was
more life to the market yesterday
than has been known for several
weeks. Dry picked fancy fowls bring
top quotations readily. Old rOos; ers
are up &c. Poor chickens are not de-
srable and squads are in fair de-
nand. There was firmer feeling for
frozen poultry, especially turkeys.
Large fowls were in demand for con-
sumptive uses, but not in a specula-
tive way. All graded poultry brings
Il fair pr'ce according to grade.
