Country Produce-Jobbiug Prices.


The Elgin Butter Board reduced prices Of
creamery on Monday. The reduction goes into
effect here Thursday, and we have changed our
prices as will be seen by the list below. Freight
rates have been advanced in the past few weeks
sufficient to add more than nc to price of but
ter from the West. Cheese is shade frmer in
the East, but prices are unchanged. A firmer
tone to the egg market is reported. with active
movement. A large dealer, who returned from
the Western Reserve yesterday, says that
farmers through that section get about as much
for eggs at home as can be obtained here. The
drop of eggs to 13 and 14c is fact that upsets
all the calculations of commission men. 1t is
a rare thing that hens get in as much good
work in March as they have been doing the
past week or two. Already prices are almost
as low as they reached any time last season.
