COUNTRY PRoDUCE-J obbing Prices
The sharp frosts of the past two or three
nights have sent garden stuff to a higher
level. Tomatoes are away up, prices being
advanced from 40 to 90e per bushel within a
day or two. Cucumbers, turnips and cab
bage have also Joined in the upward move
ment. Receipts of potatoes have been on
the gain the past few days and markets are
steady. Sweet potatoes are quiet at quota
tions. In fruit lines we note that peaches
are on the wane and that their day will soon
be over. Grapes are still in plenty, but
markets are frmer. Tropical fruits are in
improved demand as domestic fruits give
signs of retiring. Lemons, oranges and all
California fruits are firm. Bananas are
quiet. At the Monday meeting of the Elgin
Butter Board prices of creamery we're ad-
vanced, as has been predicted in this column
for number OF days. the advance being
equal to &c, making, with last weeks rise, 4c
per pound in n week. At the rise the situa-
tion is favorable to the seller, and products
are being withheld in anticipation of further
advances. Strictly fresh eggs have found q
higher level, as our quotations will reveal.
