TUESDAY, August IL.


COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-
AT the Monday meeting of the Elgin Butter
Board prices of creamery were advanced &c
per pound, an advance which will be due in
this market on Friday. Stocks of good
creamery are unusually light, not only here,
but all over the country. Cheese is firm
and unchanged. Eggs continue in bountiful
supply and are very slow, with 1870 as top
price for job lots and lie for single cases.
Demand for lemons is improving under the
influence of hot weather, and prices bid fair
to find higher level before the week is
gone. Other tropical fruits are very slow
Tor the good reason that homegrown fruits
are so abundant. As long as peaches, plums,
pears and melons are SO plentiful ana cheap
rs they are at present there is little snowIor
the products which come from afnr. The
trouble with fruit and vegetable markets FOR
the past few weeks has been that stuff has
been coming in much more freely than we
have capacity for.
