COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing prices
The supply of grapes to-day was the largest
of the season. The Liberty street produce
commission houses were barricaded by long
lines of grape baskets, reaching in many
cases to the awnings. AS result of the
large supply prices declined until 20c per
basket became the top price for Concords.
Receipts of peaches were light, and Mon
days prices were fairly we'll maintained,
The first cranberries of the season put in
an appearance within few days, and are
dull stock Vegetables of all kinds continue
slow. At the regular Monday meeting of
the Elgin Board an advance of Nc per pound
was established on creamery butter, and
markets were strong and active at the ad-
vance. With so small n rise there Is not
likely to be an advance in our own markets
this week. Strictly fresh eggs are firm at
the outside quotation.
