DAIRY AND POULTRY PRODUCTS:
Butter Market continues firm on all
scores. The supply Of higher scores Is
more liberal and buyers are not expert
encing so much difficulty in supplying
scores are showing more activity and
considerable quantities of 1888 score
butter have changed hands this week.
Dealers are holding firm to asking prices
in most cases with the market in the
sellers favor. Western extras 45c. North
crn Extras Assorted sizes Spruce Tubs
as y 46c. Cheese Market remains firm at
slightly advanced prices on most styles.
Country producing markets showing con-
siderable trmness at advanced prices
have added strength TO the conditions
on account Of the tendency OF some
| holders of cheese to offer held goods
which show profit at prices slightly
under the market for fresh. York State
