Boston Produce Markets 
(Continued from page 190.) 
Southern strawberries arc in fair sup¬ 
ply around 25 cents. Observed a dealer, 
“The growers may be doing better at 
this price jx’ith cold weather transporta¬ 
tion only oc than later when it will cost 
15c to get them here by refrigerator 
service.” 
BUTTER IN irODERATE DEMAND. 
The price of butter is back at .38c as 
last quoted after one or two light 
changes. Best grades are scarce. Said 
Chas. H. Stone & Co., “Butter first ad¬ 
vanced in sympathy with the New York 
and Chicago markets, but has .since eased 
off. There is more active trading since 
'the chain provision stores have been 
making purchases which makes a fairly 
good demand for fancy storage butter 
which has advanced and seems likely to 
go higher before good new butter comes. 
There is considerable trading in cheese. 
Sales in a large way have been reported 
at 25c, but 24^ to 24%c would seem 
nearer the general .selling price. Some 
space for export can be had, although at 
excessive rate.s. ^ The Liverpool market 
IS up to .31c w'hich would show a profit 
in exjiort trade even under present con¬ 
ditions.” 
EASTERN EGGS INCREASING. 
On account of severe weather, West¬ 
ern eggs have continued in light supply, 
while Eastern and nearby are coming 
more freely. The few Western eggs of 
best gi-ade equal the price of Eastern, 
45c. Storage eggs are .37c and it is 
hard to find really fancy stock, so that 
the Chamber of Commerce now di.scou- 
tinnes extras and quotes only firsts. The 
best ones seem to have been all picked 
up by this time. Hennery eggs are not 
selling readily on account of larger re¬ 
ceipts. 
FIRM, STEADY POULTRY MARKET. 
Live fowl and chickens contiime in 
light supply at 20 to '22c. Only large, 
selected stock brings the outside price. 
The market for dressed poultry shows a 
firm tone. Said S. L. Burr & Co.: 
“Northern and Eastern poultry is most¬ 
ly done at present. It is mainly fowls 
at 25 to 26c for heavy, and 22 to 24c 
for liglit. Old roosters arc in demand 
at 19c, a price never reached before. 
Geese and ducks are cleaned up, except 
a few direct shipments from the South 
shore. We expect poultry to continue 
in ■ light supply until the season begins 
again in August.” Western fowls are 
2.3 to 25c; chickens, 22 to 2Sc; fresh 
turkeys .33 to 34c; capons 30 to 33c. 
FAIR DEMAND FOR DRESSED MEATS. 
Veal continues a firm feature at 18 to 
20c for best. Eastern lamb holds at 17 
to 18e, Mutton is 12 to 15c and in¬ 
active. Western beef holds at 15 for 
l>est_ and cow beef at 10c. There is 
considerable trade in rabbits as a cheap 
meat supply at 20e each. 
LIVE HOGS UIGIIER. 
For some \veeks past the trend of the 
hog market has been upward at Brighton 
until desirable lots readily command 12 
cents .alive or 14i/^ to 15c dressed. Beef 
cattle, on the other hand, drag a little 
at 8 to 9c for good to fancy, and 7 to 
7%c for medium which was also the 
general range for good cows and bulls, 
while ordinary cows sell at 5 to Gc. 
Choice calves bring 13c, others 11 to 
12c. Most milch cows offered look like 
poor milkers and sell around ,$50 to .$60. 
Good ones bring up to $80, and fancy 
ones, which seem very scarce, sell at 
$100 or more. 
MILL FEEDS AND HAY. 
Prices of the feeds shift I’elatively 
from time to time, requiring continual 
attention on the part of feeders. Thus 
linseed, which Avas formerly a bargain, 
is now much higher (.$50) than cotton¬ 
seed at $43, and the latter deserves at¬ 
tention in comiiarison with coruineal at 
about the same ju-ice, $44. Country 
dealers do not always respond promptly 
to wholesale changes, but the telephone 
may find one who will. Middlings sell 
around .$40; bran, $37 to $38; gluten 
feed $42; hominy feed $46 per ton. 
Perhaps the hay market is a little 
better in some way, but most dealers are 
complaining of dull trade. T'he improve¬ 
ment is all in the best grades. As stated 
by Hosmer, Robinson & Co.: “There is 
a surplus of off-grade hay. The trade 
will not buy i)oor hay. There is a fair 
demand for No. 1 and good No. 2. At 
country points, trade is dull on account 
of large local crops. Clover or clover 
mixed if of good color, sells around $15, 
I)ut if poor colored at $12 to $13. The 
feeding hay arriving by the Boston & 
Maine sells at $11, $12, $13, being most¬ 
ly poor fine hay and hard to sell, no¬ 
body wanting it. l^ie market may do 
better soon, but there is still a lot of 
hay to be shipped.” g. b. f. 
Butter 43c; eggs 44 ; beef 9 ; pork 15 ; 
potatoes $2 bu.; apples 9()c; cabbage 3c 
a pound; onions $4.50 bag; cheese 25c. 
Cows sell from $50 to $90 each. A few 
fine Holstein bring the latter figure. Heavy 
bulls sell at 6c, alive. Sheep sell from 
$8 to $10 a head. Chickens bring 19e 
a pound alive; laying hens $1 each; 
clover honey 17 buckwheat 14c; ma¬ 
ple syrup $1.50 gal.; hay sells at from 
$8 to $12 a ton; straw $7. F. n. F.
