Country Producc-JObbing Prices.
Adyices from Elgin indicate very active
creamery butter market at prices lc per pound
above those of last week. The advance will be
due here on Friday. Cold storage men have
been buying up and putting away creamery
butter for the past few weeks In the faith that
bottom had Deen reached. They are likely to
have their reward, from present outlook.
Country butter continues to drag and prices
are only nominal. Demand for choice nearby
eggs is fully up to supply. Supply of straw
berries was large to-day, the largest of the
season, but demand was excellent for choice
stock. Raspberries were plenty and dull. The
first red raspberries of the season were offered
in limited quantity. New potatoes are moving
freely.and prices are firm at quotations. Mar
kets are well supplied with tomatoes, and
prices are drifting lower. Produce men report
this as one of the most active days of the
season.
