CHEESE. 
The drop in prices caused some de¬ 
crease in supplies, as shipments were di¬ 
verted to other places. The main diffi¬ 
culty with the market seems to he the 
surplus of unenred and off-flavor cheese. 
When old cheese is high the temptation 
to hurry along the new make by high 
temperature curing is great. But there 
is always a had reaction from this prac¬ 
tice. Retail trade falls off rapidly be¬ 
cause consumers do not like the ill ripened 
cheese. The defect may sometimes he in 
the material or the way it is handled in 
making, hut it is more often improper 
curing, thus discounting the price two to 
three cents per pound, or even more.

BOSTON MARKET REVIEW. 
Fruit prices in Boston market are high 
for the season as the rule, especially on 
fancy apples, cranberries and strawber¬ 
ries. Florida oranges are also on the 
raise, hut California stock is plenty and 
reasonable. Best fancy native Baldwins 
from cold storage bring up to $7 per 
barrel, with good to fair going at $4 to 
$0. The poor grades are in less de¬ 
mand and prices uneven. Western box 
stock $4 for Winter Banana and $2.50 
to $3.50 for other varieties. Good na¬ 
tive Itussets $3.50 to $5 per barrel. 
Cranberries at $15 per barrel, return 
good money to tin* lucky holder. Flori¬ 
da oranges, best. $4 per box; California 
stock nboiit $2.50. Cuban stock ranges 
anywhere between the other two. Straw¬ 
berries around 40 cents per box. which 
price tells the story of short supply be¬ 
cause of frost damage. Good lemons 
about $4 per box. others $2.50 and .$3.50. 
Grape fruit $4.50 for Florida, California 
$2.50, with Cubans at about $3. Pine¬ 
apples go at about $4 for crate with sup¬ 
plies getting more plentiful: prices are 
working lower. Bananas plentiful and 
prices reasonable to buyer; best large
