Country Preduce-Jobbing Prices.


Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Creamery butter was reduced Nc at Elgin on
Monday, q drop of 1c in the past week. The
cash customer will have little trouble getting
the best creamery going at lSc in job lots.
Eggs are frmSat Quotations. Cheese is un-
changed, with active demand. Whortleberrles
and blackberries are in full supply, with droop-
ing tendencies. The same is true of apples and
melons. A good weeks trade is reported by
produce men, but the abundance of all kinds of
stuff forces prices to such figures that margins
of profit are well nigh wiped out. The amount
of stuff handled by commission men is large,
but producers receive little for their work and
time. In all lines of country produce supplies
are more than ample for all demands. The
weak point of markets. this year as last, is too
muchness of everything in the line of fruits
and vegetables.
