The market for butter holds about as —.$1.75 to

quality and large output continues. The 
market is good, but there is not much de¬ 
mand to storage.” Said Chapin & Adams: 
“Quality is fine, couldn’t be better, and 
the season’s conditions are still favorable 
to the make of butter.” Cheese is a lit¬ 
tle higher, but without any snap to the 
market. Goldsmith, Wall & Co. say: 
“About 21/^e is top for extras. The mar¬ 
ket is up about %c from low. Skims, 
single, paraffined bring 18c, There is no 
.$4.50 per bunch, and pineajiples are

The demand for vegetables is good, 
coming close to the supply. Asparagus 
continues plenty, at .$2 for Mt. Morris 
per doz.; green beans, .$1.50 to .$2 per 
hamper; new beets. 50 to 05c per doz.

ach, 40 to 50c per bu.; cucumbers, ,$1.75

backwardness of the season will make

Receipts are about normal for the time

say: “Western eggs are showing heat

The poultry market is only steady,

POULTRY QUIET. 
Prices sIioav little change. People are 
not buying poultry freely and there is al- 
Avays the frozen surplus stock to hold 
doAvn the market. According to Amos 
Keyes & Son: “Live foAvls and broilers 
range from 23 to 25c. Once in a Avhile 
the market improves for a time, but it is 
hard to net over 35c for a broiler after 
expeiLses of selling, and growers tell us 
that is about the cost of production under 
present conditions. Chickens are being 
.shipped young rather than feed them to 
roaster size, and roasters may be scarce 
later.” 
milk ADVANCE PUT OFF TO JULY 15. 
The unusual lateness of the dairy sea¬ 
son appears to be at the bottom of the de¬ 
cision of the executive board of the New 
England Milk I’roducers’ Association to 
postpone the rise in milk price for two 
Aveeks until .Tuly 15. Because the pas- 
J^oston and other large cities, and the 
dealers have more than they can handle 
in the regular Avay. The producers seem 
to have made the change with a certain 
spirit of consideration for the dealers,

that they did.” “Wal, did any one ask 
you to stay here after you came?” “No, 
I don’t know that they did.” “Wal, 
they wun’t!”—Manufacturer’s Record.

liaA’e accepted the change without the 
criticism Avhich Avould have greeted such 
a move a few years ago. Able leadership 
and^ a series of victories have made easy 
sailing for the as.sociation. A harder test 
Avill come Avhen some future period of low 
l)rice.s may affect the milk situation. The 
demands for .Tuly 15 are the same as

The appearance of peaches in some

this territory Avill produce so many 
peaches that it Avill be difficult to get 
people to pick and ship them. Apples 
are going out, but the old top quotation
