Fancy creamery butter and strictly fresh
eggs are firm at quotations. Home-raised eggs
are hard to be had at any price. but large guam
titles of Western stock are going TO the con-
sumer as such. Since Government detectives
are on the watch for oleo dealers. there has
been a better demand for country butter.
Choice potatoes and apples are still in short
supply and demand is good for all that are Of
fered. Prices are more apt to go higher than
lower. Poultry is coming in freely, but de-
mand is slow. Consumers are evidently getting
good ready for Christmas doings.
