Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Markets are very bare of good creamery but
ter. and all that comes goes off like hot cakes.
How much the advance is due to scarcity and
how much to speculation is not easy to define.
No doubt both have somewhat to do with pres
ent exorbitant prices, and oleo manufacturers
have probably contributed somewhat to the
butter boom. There seems to be shortage all
over the country. heavy New York dealer
in creamery butter, who shipped large lot to
Liverpool a week or two ago. has ordered his
shipments back on account of the sharp ad-
vance here. Oleo dealers are reaping a nice
harvest since the article made from cream has
advanced. Many retailers have been taking
out United States licenses within a few days
past. Eggs are coming in more freely. and
prices show weakness, with the range from II
to lSc per dozen in job lots Cabbage is not so
plenty as it has been for a few weeks past. and
prices are moving upward. Other vegetables
are quiet
