IN BOSTON MARKETS
Selling Is Rather Slow and Prices Are
Easy.

Selling Is Rather Slow and Prices Are
Easy.
Boston, April 5--There is not much
change in the local butter, cheese and
egg markets from last reports. Custom
ers are not plentiful in any of the mar
kets and while prices are left unchanged
the feeling is a little easier There is
all the fresh butter that is wanted at
the prices it commands and not a few
dealers are getting little more stock
than is required by the regular trade, 1t
is not possible to obtain much more than
cost on the surplus supplies in competi-
tion with storage stock, and sellers are
glad enough to get out at cost rather
than take a chance of being caught with
high priced goods on hand in the event
of break The cheese market is still
sustained by the fact of the possibility
of export business rather than by a
good demand or a lack of supplies There
are eggs enough for wants and prices are
no more than steady.
