TUESDAY. May s.. !
Country Produce-JobbinG Prices.
The first Tennessee strawberries of the sea-
SON arrived this week and are selling slowly at
So rs to 81 90 per crate. The cool weather has
| served as a check to demand. Strawberries
! and ice cream go slow, such weather as we have
been having for "a few days past At the
| meeting of the Elgin Board on Monday
afternoon creamery was advanced nc per lb
| The advance will 70 into effect here ON FRIDAY.
As our markets are very bare of good creamery.
and have been for week or two past, the ad-
vance is likely to appear ahead OF the usual
time. New cheese is not in sufficient supply
for wants of trade. Receipts of eggs are fully
up to demand. but prices are steady. There Is
no danger of q surplus as all not needed Tor
private consumption are promptly gathered In
by cold storage companies. Markets are
abundantly supplied with prime apples, and
prices have declined since the beginning of the
| week as our quotations will disclose.
