BUTTER. 
There has been an advance of one 
to two cents on practically all grades, but 
this slackened business and the market 
was decidedly weak toward the close. 
Considerable improvement in quality of 
fresh receipts is noted. There is some 
business in storage creamery at nearly 
the top quotation for fresh. City made is 
selling well; packing stock scarce.

most other Fall varieties. Pears selling 
well when good to choice, a few Bartlett 
and Clapp's Favorite bringing $4.50 per

good demand. Choice from West Vir¬

BUFFALO MARKETS. 
A PPLES are very cheap and picked 
fruit is now the rule; they are As- 
traehans, Duchess and Sweet and 
Sour Boughs mostly, and retail at five 
cents the two-quart measure or 40 cents a 
third-bushel basket. Bartlett pears are 
of good quality, retailing at about two 
cents each. The prices of cherries and 
berries have not changed of into, being 
25 cents for a six-pound basket at whole¬ 
sale for late sour cherries, with berries 
red raspberries 16 cents; black, 12 cents; 
purple, 11 cents; blackberries, 14 cents 
for highest wholesale price. There are 
a few currants at 25 to 40 cents a basket, 
both red and black. 
Potatoes are stronger and there are 
quotations as high as $1.25 per bushel, 
wholesale, but it is still possible to get 
fair ones at $1 retail. Sweet potatoes 
are not generally to be had. Ouions are 
$1.25 to $1.50 per bushel, wholesale and 
cabbage is not quoted above $3.50 per 
hundred. A few bunched white turnips 
are coming in at low prices, as the quali¬ 
ty is poor. Bunched vegetables, beets, 
carrots, retail at three to four bunches for 
five cents. Beans are five cents and peas 
eight cents per two-quart measure. To¬ 
matoes are not plenty yet, retailing at 
40 cents a basket. A few peppers bring 
75 cents a box. There is a fine lot of cel¬ 
ery in, very long and white, but only 25 
cents a dozen, wholesale. Fine cucum¬ 
bers wholesale at 30 cents a dozen or 
$1.50 a bushel, retailing at three for 10 
cents. The largest lettuce heads recalled 
are appearing, some of them retailing at 
10 cents a head. The regular wholesale 
price being GO to 80 cents a dozen. The 
melon crop is at its best, small water¬ 
melons wholesaling as low as 15 cents 
each by the hundred and not above 40 
cents. Muskmelons are mostly five cents 
each, the wholesale price running from $1 
to $2 per crate. 
Butter is quoted at 32 cents down, but 
market retailers still post 31 cents as 
their top price, retail. Eggs rule firm at 
28 to 31 cents for fancy white, western 
candled being 23 to 24 cents. Cheese is 
rather quiet at 17 cents for top grade, re¬ 
tailers generally asking 20 cents. The 
report that foreign cheese would soon be 
out of reach has not affected the market 
yet. Dressed poultry is much scarcer 
than live, on account of the hot weather; 
17 to 22 cents for turkey, live; 18 cents for 
choice fowl; 25 to 26 cents for broilers. 
17 to 18 cents for duck, dressed; and 15 
to 17 cents for turkey, 15 to 16 cents 
for fowl, 16 to 19 cents for broilers, and 
13 to 16 cents for duck, live, all at whole¬ 
sale. j. w. c.
