TUESDAY, Sept. 8,
COUNTRY PRoDUCE-(Jobbing prices):
At the Monday meeting of the Elgin But
ter-Board creamery was advanced &c per
pound, which means a 30-cent market here
at the last of the week. From all points of
the compass comes the report of scarcity
of choice creamery butter. With the ad-
vance in butter comes more activity in oleo.
Swiss style of cheese is abundant and quiet,
while Ohio and New York cheese is active.
with an upward tendency. Vegetables are
slow all along the line. Potatoes have been
steady until the past few days, but are now
quoted weak. Sweet potatoes, tomatoes and
cabbage are very dull. The abundance and
cheapness of fruits has of late very much
lessened the consumption of vegetables.
Supply of peaches is much below whatit
has been for a week or two past, the total for
to-day being not above half-doZen car
loads against q daily average of 15 cars last
week. All good stock is in demand at out
side quotations. Bananas are in short sup
ply as compared with last week, and markets
are stronger.
