prices are still obtained.
Budds Produce Price Current says: There is
a very short supply; feeling, however, unsettled
and prices have reached so high a point that
sales are slow and trade entirely in a small way,
and it does not require very large lots to supply
the present demand. The high prices are bring
ing forward eggs from various points, but not in
large quantities. When receipts begin to in
crease there will be tall scramble to get the
eggs to market and sold to keep from losing on
them; therefore, prices. win decrease very fast.
The only advice we can give to shippers is, buy
as low as you can and get them here as soon as
you can. We cannot guarantee you this price
for any length of time The butter market is I'M
changed. There is very fair demand for fresh
made butter, especially when having sweet
flavor and good color, but other stock is dull.
Poultry-receipts very light and prices well
sustained, excepting geese, which are lower.
The season of game is about over. The only
kind that is coming forward is rabbits, and they
are poor and slow sale.
The provision market is quite active and prices
strong; note advance in wholesale prices The
grocery market presents new features Sugars
are firm at quotations. The receipts and CON
