Dairy and Poultry Products
No two of the products have shown
similar tendencies this week, but all re-
feet the general unsettled condition OF
the market. Butter has advanced slightly.
but Is closing easier, cheese has made
general decline, poultry has held about
steady, while eggs have reacted nervously
with supply and demand, but show weak
ness at the close.
Fresh butter has been short of trade
needs and the consumption of top grades
Is evidently heavier, as dealers report a
general increase in sales of fresh goods
and have been able to secure 1c-2c more
than last week. Arrivals from Denmark
have been heavy, but people seem to like
the fine quality, light sailed and colored
butter from that country and many are
taking this in preference to the domestic
product. Top grades of fresh 90c-92c
score are now bringing 45c-47c and stor-
age 40c-43c.
Fresh poultry has not been plentiful,
but demand has been normal and no
marked change has been noted in prices.
Fresh roasting chickens are selling well
at 44c-5Oc, fine large fowl at 40c-43c and
smaller sizes at 35c up. Frozen birds
have had some call but are not moving
as we'll as expected. Live poultry has
been wanted beyond the available supply
for the holiday. and has sold up sharply
Fine large fowl have ranged 40e-43cr
with a few chickens around Csc.
Maple Products
Quite liberal supplies of both new and
last years syrup and sugar have arrived
this week, and with high prices and very
light demand dealers have found trade
slow Small two ounce cakes OF new
sugar have ranged 32c-35c, bricks went
around CSC. and pals and tubs from 1Sc
up per pound. New syrup has had
limited demand at $2OO-$2.25 per gallon
with the last years and dark colored
around $3.50. Expected supplies are not
heavy but demand is very slack.
