COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing prices
At the Monday meeting of the Elgin board
creamery butter prices were advanced 2Hc
per pound on prices of last week. As our
markets are bare in lines of good creamery
the advance in prices at Elgin will go into
effect at once. Our quotations are moved
upward in accordance with the facts. Cheese
of September make is expected on the mar
ket before the week is out and prospects are
for higher prices. Strictly fresh eggs are
scarce and firm at outside quotations. Choice
potatoes are IN limited supply and markets
are steady. Sweet potatoes are slow and
dull at reduction already noted. In fruit
lines grapes have the lead. There were fully
13 carloads on the market Monday and 10
carloads to-day. Concords are the leading
variety. and supplies are in the main from
Western New York and Northwestern Penn-
sylvania. Tropical fruits are in growing
demand and prices show an upward ten
dency.
