Market Quotations 
NEW YORK, DECEMBER SI, 1010. 
These prices and notes are believed to 
be fairly representative of the current of 
trade here. The range given in the quo¬ 
tations covers the qualities on hand tit the 
time. The best grades of most fruits and 
vegetables, live stock find poultry on sale 
one week may he much better or poorer 
than next week’s offerings, so that a 
lower top price on such products does not 
necessarily mean a lower general market. 
This does not apply to butter, cheese and 
eggs, which are more thoroughly stand¬ 
ardized.

FRUITS. 
A large proportion of the apples on 
sale at present are inferior, either from 
frost damage or from poor quality, so 
that the top figure of the range covers 
but a small amount of business. A few 
pears are on hand, but mainly of irregular 
quality. Cranberry trade slow. Scatter¬ 
ing lots of strawberries are arriving in 
ice chests, wholesaling around $1 per 
quart.

WOOL. 
The market during the past week lias 
been quiet. Business at Boston is re¬ 
ported at: New York and Michigan un¬

eighths blood, 69 to 71c. New England 
half blood, 72 to 75e; three-eighths blood, 
65 to 67c. For the Government sales at 
Boston, .Tan. 7-8-9-10. about 20,060.000 
lbs. are listed, about 2,800.000 lbs. being 
domestic. Later in the mouth sales of a 
considerable quantity of Australian mer¬ 
ino, shipped from England, will lie held. 
Some mill men in referring to the high 
prices of made-up clothing state that con¬ 
sumers insist on the finer grades of cloth, 
so that it is difficult for them to sell the 
coarser wool goods to the clothing trade. 
Probably one great reason why consumers 
are slow in buying the coarser cloths is 
the poor quality of linings and tailoring 
work put into them. Considering the 
high making-up cost that clothing manu¬ 
facturers have to pay, it is natural that 
they should put their work on the more 
expensive goods so long as they can sell 
them, hut it is hardly fair to blame con¬ 
sumers for not buying lower priced cloth, 
made up in an inferior or slipshod way.
