Fruit Prices Firm in New York; Vegetable Prices Dull and Lower.

Prices of apples in barrels continued firm in the New York market throughout the week from Sept. 26 to Oct. 1, principally on account of light arrivals of good stock. Prices of boxed stock declined on account of heavier arrivals, but the trade is still looking for large red stock, and taking it readily.

Potatoes continued in light demand with very liberal supplies, and prices gradually declined until Maine Cobblers in 165-lb. sacks reached $2.75 to $3, with few buyers.

Receipts of good onions were light with prices firm.

Peaches from New York were in light supply and mostly of only fair condition and poor color. Demand was moderate with good stock selling readily for $4.50 to $5 a bu.; ordinary and poor stock sold slowly in a $2 to $4 range.

Sweet potatoes eased off considerably in price. Grapes were dull throughout the week selling slowly at the lowest figures yet realized. Cabbage was not in demand and prices gradually declined closing at $30 to $35 per ton for New York domestic. The first car of California tomatoes arrived on Thursday, but with heavy supplies of nearby stock on hand, did not sell so readily as was anticipated. The tomatoes were in excellent condition, with a few slightly overripe. Best lugs sold at $1.75 to $2 with ripe stock at $1.50, but were not cleaned up and sold at $1.25 to $1.50 the following day.

DEFINITE IMPORT INFORMATION STEADIES BUTTER MARKET.

Tendency Toward Higher Prices--Danish Butter Has Sentimental Effect on Market.

Butter trading was on a more confident basis during the week ending Oct. 1 and the markets developed a steadier tone as a result of definite information regarding the quantities of Danish butter expected to be available in the near future. The persistent rumors of large shipments which during the previous week were partly responsible for the unsettled condition were soon quieted, and operators took a more conservative attitude. There was less pressure to sell and buyers were inclined to purchase more freely.

Price changes were small, but there was a general tendency toward a higher level, advances of ¹⁄₂¢ to 1¢ being registered on all markets on the finer grades of butter. At times the supply of fancy butter was somewhat in excess of the demand, but any efforts on the part of the sellers to get prices down were always met with an active buying demand from distributors and speculators. It was a good, steady market with holders usually free sellers and buyers taking immediate requirements readily at current prices.

MARKET ON UNDERGRADES IMPROVED.

The market for undergrades was somewhat more active. The heavy supply of last week showed but little if any reduction, and current receipts consisted largely of undergrade butter. The quality of receipts generally was reported considerably better during the week and this no doubt was largely the cause of the improved market in undergrades. More interest was shown in undergrades by buyers who bought for immediate needs or who got such price concessions as to make their purchases bargains, but as a rule dealers found it impossible to move all their undergrades even at large price reductions.

Receipts for the week show but little change from previous weeks. It was generally expected that production would gradually decrease in spite of the fact that conditions for a good fall production have been favorable. Hence, the latest available report from the American Association of Creamery Butter Manufacturers showing an increase of 9.8% over last year and an increase of 0.44% over the previous week came as a surprise. The storage holdings for the four markets showed a marked decrease during the week. The decrease was most pronounced at Chicago, indicating a movement of storage butter from there to other markets.

The S. S. _Frederick VIII_ arrived during the week, carrying a cargo of 1,250 casks of Danish butter, which did not become available until Friday. Part of this butter was reported sold at prices ranging from 44³⁄₄¢ to 45¹⁄₂¢, depending upon the size of the lot. The S. S. _Heligolav_ and _Drottingholm_ now afloat with combined cargoes estimated at between 3,000 and 4,000 casks. The _Oscar II_, which sailed from Copenhagen on Sept. 30, is also expected to carry some butter. The effect of the Danish butter on the markets has been largely sentimental, causing operators to act somewhat more conservatively.
