Buffalo Markets 
The season has now held off till it is 
no earlier than many others have been. 
Excessive rains, little sun and some frost 
have contributed to the result. Produce 
prices do not change much, which means 
that the Southern supply is uot large 
enough to bring Winter figures down. 
The strawberry supply is not increasing, 
which shows that the South is as back¬ 
ward as we are. Eggs are low, farmers 
getting not above 38c per doz., this being 
as little as was received last season at 
any time. Beans are in light supply and 
demand, accounting for the high prices. 
Apples are in good supply, with prices 
as high as ever. 
Potatoes are 75c to $1 per bu.. firm : 
apples are $2 for common to $4.75 for 
King, Spy and Greening, per bu.; beans 
dull. $4.50 and $6, and onions firm at 
$3.50 to $4 per bu.; ouiou sets, $5 to $10 
per bu.; new onions from Texas, $5.25 
to $5.75 per crate. 
Vegetables are in better supply. As¬ 
paragus. dull, $3.25 to $6; new cabbage. 
$6 to $7. all per crate; striug beans. $3 to 
$6; Florida cucumbers, $6. all per ham¬ 
per ; beets, SOc to $1; carrots. 90c to 
$130; parsnips. $1 to $1.40; spinach. 
$1.25 to $1.50; white turnips, 90c to 
$1.25; yellow turnips, $1.20 to $2; all 
per bu.; new beets. 75 to 85c; new car¬ 
rots, 50 to 65c; radishes, 30 to 40c; shal¬ 
lots. 30 to SOc; watercress, 40 to SOc; 
parsley, 75 to 90c, all per doz. bunches: 
celery, Florida, $6 to $7; tomatoes, $3.50 
to $5.50. all per crate; lettuce, plenty. 
$1 to $1.75 per 2-doz. box; California 
pieplant, $4.25 per box; mushrooms, 75c 
per lb. 
Southern and fancy fruits are dull and 
quiet. Oranges. $5.25 to $7 ; lemons. $4 
to $5; grapefruit. $6 to $7. all per box; 
limes, $1 to $1.25 per 100; bananas. $3.75 
to $6 per bunch; strawberries, $9 to $10 
per Louisiana case. 
Butter remains firm at top prices. 60 
to 67c for creamery ; 52 to 60c for dairy; 
50 to 58c for crocks; 43 to 46c for com¬ 
mon. and 28 to 35c for margarine. Cheese 
is steady at 32 to 33c for best domestic 
and 33 to 36c for limburger. Eggs are 
weak on big receipts. 45 to 47c for hen¬ 
nery and 43 to 45c for candled. No 
storage offered. 
Poultry, good demand. Scarce at 3S to 
47c for dressed turkeys; 36 to 39c for 
fowl; 36 to 48c for capon; 27 to 2Sc for 
old roosters; 36 to 40c for live ducks, and 
20 to 25c for live geese. Rabbits about 
out of market and very cheap at 35 to 
40c per pair for cottontails and 10c per 
Jh. _for jacks. Maple sugar is quiet at 
$l.t>0 to $2 per gal. for syrup and 22 to
