Boston Market Review. 
The market on apples is.somewhat dull 
in. Boston at present; supplies are more 
than large enough to fill the demands. 
As usual at this season- most people are 
trying to work off their poorer stock and 
keeping , the best for the future improve¬ 
ment that is expected. . Apple storage is 
not to be had, as the coolers are full of 
other product, largely butter, cheese and 
eggs, also much beef is expected and 
space for the same contracted for. 
Fancy McIntosh sell well up to $6 per 
bbl.; good up to $4 and $5 per bbl. Good 
Spy, Wealthy and .other good kinds aver¬ 
age about $3 per bbl. Baldwins about 
the Same and Greenings'25 to 50c per bbl. 
lower; Ilubbardston $2 to .$2.50 per bbl. 
Western box fruit $1.75 to $2; a few, 
including Winter Banana, if fancy, 
$2.50 and $2.75. Good bananas in fair 
supply and prices reasonable; best large 
buu,dies $3 or better per bunch, mediums 
about $2.75, others $2.50 down to $1.50. 
Best reds $3.50 and $4.50. others range 
down to $2, according to size of bunch 
and quality and size of fruit. Can¬ 
taloupes not in very good demand and 
cheap, $1 and $1.25 per small crate. Cran¬ 
berries somewhat dull at $6 to $7 per 
barrel and about $2 per crate. All good 
pears short and high. 
Potatoes range up and down, and no 
settled price exists; $1.70 to $1.85 is 
the figure most sales at present bring, 
with supply light to medium. Sweets $2 
per bbl. and $1. per basket. Onions in 
plentiful supply but mostly poorer quali- 
*v; $1 and $1.25 per box for nearby 
sro,-i. others $1.75 to $2.25 per 100-lb. 
bag; Spanish $4 per crate. 
Southern string beans $1.75 and $2 
per basket; lettuce 35 to 60c per box. 
Celery, common, 75 to 90e per doz., Pas¬ 
cal $1 and Boston Market $1.25. Cu¬ 
cumbers higher and short, $6.50 to $7.50 
per box. Cabbage slow and dull, yet 
general supply is much less than usual 
;it this season; sells at 50c to 75c per 
barrel. Savoy 50 to 65cj red. per box, 
75c, Good squash sells fairly well at 
$1.25. to $1.50 per barrel for marrow, 
$1.50 to $1.75 for turban and Hubbards. 
Pumpkins 50c per box. Ruta-baga, 
$1’50 per bag; white egg and purple top 
75 to 90c per box ; beets 60 to 75c; car¬ 
rots 50 to 75c; parsnips 75c. 
Butter prices, especially on best grades, 
have been boosted one-half cent per lb. 
lately, but the heavy supply on hand and 
plenty more coming all the time may 
cause the market to range tin- other way, 
such is the general belief; 501A to 33 is 
the range on fancy, good Western 29 to 
31c, fair tub stock 27 and 28c. Cheese 
a little firmer on account of good for¬ 
eign markets and export demand. 16 to 
1714c per lb. is the figure of most sales. 
Fresh eggs very slow in coming in and 
high prices result, 58c per doz for best, 
Western best grade 47c, medium grades 
mostly western, 34 to 42c. Common 
storage about 30c. A. e. p.

GRAIN 
Wheat is closing lower than last week 
mainly because of increased supplies at 
primary points. B. W. Snow’s Fall seed¬ 
ing report indicates an area 7,000,000 
acres less than last Fall, and land con¬ 
ditions for the plant averaging below fav¬ 
orable, owing to extremes of drought or 
rain. Weather has been fairly favorable 
for curing corn, which was much need¬ 
ed by the great amount of immature corn 
caught by the frost.
