Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
The Elgin Butter Board at their regular Mon
day meeting reafirmed prices OF last week, and
everything offered found ready sale at last
weeks rates. Cheese has been advanced, as
our quotations will disclose. and at the advance
markets are very firm. The demand for good
eggs is active. but prices are unchanged. In
fruit lines peaches are slow, chiefly because of
the poor quality on the market. Grapes are
weaker on account of liberal receipts. Oranges
are firm, lemons weak and bananas steady.
Both Irish and sweet potatoes are quiet and the
drift is toward lower level Of prices. The
sharp advance in potatoes last week has brought
good supply. from Indiana and Illinois to our
markets and prices are shade off. The bulls
who are working the potato famine for all and
more than there is in it are doomed to defeat
in their effort. 1t is true that in this and many
other sections the keeping quality of potatoes
this season is poor, but in the West the crop is
extra good both as to quantity and quality.
ALI the bull talk about potatoes going to 81 a
busbel is simply bosh. The yield in the coun-
try is a full average, and if potatoes 60 to 81 a
bushel the coming winter, this editor misses
his calculations.
