| TUESDAY. June ~.
COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)- BLACK
berries and red raspberries put in their first
| appearance in our markets to-day. The lat
ter for the most arrived in bad shape owing
to the long distance travelled and the ex-
tremely hot weather. Southern strawber-
ries are thing of the past. Homegrown
were in full supply to-day and were slow at
a range of to l0c per quart. For the first
time this season the supply of berries ex-
ceeded demand. At noon large quantities
were still in the hands of commission men,
and prospects were that shippers would
meet with heavy losses. Home raised straw
berries are near their end for this season.
At the Monday meeting of the Elg1n But
ter Board reduction of 1c per pound was
established, which means 20c market here
on Friday. Strictly fresh eggs are hrmer,
and signs are that an lSc market Will be
reached before the week is out. Prices have
already advanced in the West, and some
dealers here report sales above l7c per dozen.
Cheese still drags, and our quotations are
again reduced, in accordance with the facts.
