Family Market.
For some weeks back there has been a
comparatively slim attendance upon the
markets, but the approach of Christmas has
had tendency to bring in the farmers with
their produce and likewise to cheaper some
of the commodities, although there is no
deClenSion whatever in the prices of butter,
eggs and fruits, but rather stiff advance
at almost every market day. Our reporter
this week was not able to give the matter
OF prices that strict attention that is his
wont, but believes that the following list,
although not complete, will be found to be
correct.
