CHEESE. 
The  prevailing  high  prices  have  caused  con¬ 
siderable  Blackening  of  trade,  but  dealers  are 
not  disposed  to  make  reductions  on  the  bPttor 
grades.  Export  buying  has  fallen  off,  partly 
because  of  the  Increase  in  Insurance  rates  since 
the  activity  of  German  submarines  off  our  coast.

Hens  in  the  North  are  moltlug  so  extensively 
that  fancy  nearby  now-laid  are  scarce,  except 
pullet  eggs,  which  are  too  small  to  bring  top

storage  stock,  the  better  qualities  of  which  are 
now  selling  at  8  to  10  cents  above  cost  price.

Buffalo  Markets 
The  appearance  of  Hubbard  squash, 
pnrsnr).s  and  vegetable  oysters  in  the 
markets  is  a  reminder  that  Winter  is  not 
far  off.  Squash  retails  at  15  cents  apiece 
up  and  parsnip  and  vegetable  oyster  at.  10 
emits  a  small  measure.  Potatoes  are  a 
tritie  lower,  wholesaling  at  $1.20  to  $1.35 
and  retailing  at  $1.50,  with  sweet  pota¬ 
toes  at  the  same  prices. 
Peaches  are  still  plenty,  though  some 
were  in  ured  by  the  heavy  frost  of  Sep¬ 
tember  30,  which  killed  field  beans,  corn 
and  potatoes.  But  for  that  the  follow¬ 
ing  week  would  have  brought  all  these 
••rope  iu  fairly  well.  String  beans  are 
$1  and  $2  per  bu.,  and  dry  beaus  are 
$6  and  $0.75  per  bu.  Green  corn  whole¬ 
sales  at  15  and  25  cents  per  dozen. 
Peaches  are  40  and  00  cents  per  one- 
third  bu.  basket. 
Apples  are  plenty  at  50  cents  t.i  $1.75 
per  bu.  Good  grades  are  not  as  plenty 
accordingly  as  formerly.  Fanners  are 
often  obliged  to  ship  without  grading. 
Pears  ave  $2,50  and  $5.50  per  ban-el  for 
Bartlett.  Other  sorts  coming  in  later  are 
keeping  badly  and  selling  at  a  little  more 
than  half  Bartlett  prices.  Plums  are  25 
cents  per  6-lb.  basket,  and  prunes,  25  and 
35  cents.  Grapes  are  very  plenty  at  40 
and  50  cents  per  18-lb.  basket  for  all 
colors. 
Melons  are  still  plenty  at  $1  aud  $1.50 
per  bushel,  home  grown.  Prices  have 
been  high  all  season.  Pineapples  still  re¬ 
tail  at  5  cents  for  fair  sizes  and  whole¬ 
sale  at  $2.75  and  $3.50  per  crate. 
Oranges  and  lemons  are  lower  at  $4  and 
$5.50  per  crate,  mostly  California. 
Cabbage  is  still  very  high  at  $9  and  $13 
per  100 ;  celery,  20  and  40  cents  per  dozen  ; 
cucumbers,  $1.75  and  $2  per  bu.,  and  25 
and  00  cents  per  100,  pickling  size ;  egg 
plant,  $1.75  per  bu. ;  lettuce,  35  ami  75 
cents  per  dozen ;  tomatoes.  50  cents  per 
20-lb.  basket. 
Butter  is  firm  at  37  cents  for  best 
creamery,  31  and  32  cents  for  fair.  32 
and  33  cents  for  choice  dairy,  29  and  30 
cents  for  choice  crocks  aud  25  cents  for 
poor.  Cheese  is  firm  aud  high  at  22  cents 
for  best  factory,  20  and  21  cents  for  fair. 
Eggs  are  still  going  up,  47  cents  for 
fancy  white,  37  and  39  cents  for  candled, 
31  and  35  for  low  grades.  Farmers  find 
wheat  too  high  for  feeding  egg  layers. 
Poultry  is  in  only  fair  demand  at  21 
and  22  cents  for  fancy  fowl,  13  and  14 
cents  for  light  fowl,  13  and  17  eents  for  * 
chickens,  21  and  23  cents  for  broilers.  20 
and  24  cents  for  ducks,  17  and  IS  cents 
for  geese,  dressed.  Live  poultry  is  about, 
three  cents  lower  than  dressed ;  no  turkey  j 
is  offered  now.  Extra  heavy  fowl  and  j 
chickens  are  somewhat  higher  than  the  i 
above  figures.  Poultry  is  among  the  few 
foods  that  have  not  advanced  materially 
this  year  or  in  recent  years.  j.  w.  c.
