There are no signs of recovery from the long
continued depression in butter and eggs. The
Elgin board on Monday was compelled to recog-
nize the situation by another drop, and price
there is now 26c. Choice nearby eggs in single
cases bring 19c and zoe, but go slow at these
figures. Some dealers quote the range of prices
from 16c to 1Sc. Cold storage eggs are drug
on markets, and holders would be glad to come
out somewhere near whole. Cheese loses
nothing of its frmness. Apples and potatoes
give no signs Of improvement SO many over
ripe apples are being forced on to markets at
nominal prices that the trade in this line is de-
moralized. Produce commission men find 1t
hard to submit to the balmy weather. THE
best laid schemes o. mice and men gang aft
a. glee," Burns said and the commission men
who laid in large stocks of potatoes, cabbage
and onions in the fall at what was then con-
sidered remarkably low prices, now in mid
winter have practical demonstration of the
truth of Burns aphorism.
