Buffalo Markets 
The cold Spring weather keeps most 
prices up and there is not as yet even 
spinach growing in this section to help 
out. Lettuce has not begun to drop and 
celery is unchanged. Apple.s have 
dropped off a trifle, but potatoes remain 
unchanged. Butter, eggs and poultry 
are a trifle higher aud onions are firmer. 
Even strawberries are down only 10c 
yet. Hay goes up .steadily. It will be 
m the interest of the producer here to 
be iible to report price reductions of 
greeu stuff, for it will show that he has 
something to sell again. Gi’een beans 
are back in the list, but turnips are con¬ 
siderably higher. It is a long time since 
turnips were so high. Cabbage has be¬ 
gun to turn downward, but it has not 
gone far yet. 
Best creamery butter is 44e; best dairy, 
39 and 49c; crocks, 33 and .38e; and poor 
butter, 29 and 30c. Cbee.se remains at 
28c for best domestic, 24 and 2t)e for 
lower grades. Eggs are feeling the Ea.ster 
demand and are 34 and 350 for white 
hennery, and State and storage, 33c. 
There are a few duck eggs at .38c and 
goose eggs at 55e. 
i oultry IS strong, the supply of live 
being especially light. Live turkey is 24 
and 25c; fowl, 24 and 28c; broiler® 
(frozen), 27 and 32c; live duck.s, 23 and 
25e, and live geese, 18 and 20c, The scar¬ 
city of live fowl puts it temporarily over 
dressed, otherwise the dressed is about 3c 
over live. 
Potatoes do not come in much from 
the South and remain at .$2..35 and .$2.75 
per bu.; Bermudas. $12 and $13 per bbl.; 
sweets, .$2 and .$2.75 per hamper. Onions 
are at record prices. ,$5 and $5.75 per bu. 
for home-grown yellow, $4 and .$4.50 for 
Havana crates, sets varying according to 
size from $5 to .$14 per bn. Apples are 
a trifle easier, as the supply is good, both 
home and Western, at ,$3.50 per bbl. for 
common and $0.75 for Xo. 1. Beans hold 
up at .$8 and $8.75 for the various sorts. 
Nobody now buys them for general use. 
Vegetables ought to feel the Spring life 
soon, but are still $6 and $7..50 for as¬ 
paragus, large bunches; with a few small 
bunches retail at 10 cents. Green beans 
are $0 aud .$7 per hamper; beets, .$2.i50 
per bu,; cabbage, $5 per crate; carrots, 
$1.65 per bu.; celery, .$3 and .$3.75 per 
Florida crate; lettuce, $1.35 per 2-doz. 
box; California lettuce, $4 and $4.25*per 
orate; parsnips, ,$2 and $2.25 per bu.; 
spinach, .$1.75 per bbl.; turnips, .$3 and 
yellow, and $2.25 and 
$2..o0 per bu. for white. 
Fancy and Southern fru'ts are un¬ 
changed, except that strawberries are 
lower and pineapples are higher at .$3 and 
$3.50 per crate for California lemons or 
oranges; $3.50 and $4.25 for Florida 
oranges; ,$,3 and .$4 per box for grape- 
fruit, $1.25 and $1.35 per 100 for limes; 
$4._5 and $o.o0 per box for pineapples, 
and 1.5 and .30e per quart for straw¬ 
berries. An advance of $1 on hav bring.s 
It iip^to $18 for No. 1, with No. .3 at $12
