Potatoes and apples are tending upward
There is scarcity of choice potatoes In this
market. and outside jobbing prices are up to
81 Is per busheI, which means that the con-
sumer must pay close to ST so per busheI, the
highest price for many years. A Liberty street
commission man reported sales of ten barrels
of apples yesterday at s. per barrel. It has
been many years since potatoes OF apples were
as high as they are at this time. In both lines
our markets are dependent on the West for
supplies Through Western PENNSYLVANIA and
Eastern Ohio the apple and potato crop has
been almost a failure this season. Strictly
fresh nearby eggs are still very scarce and for
the few offered outside prices are easily OBJ
taned. Poultry is in oyer-supply and markets
are slow.
