General Advance in Prices -Active,
Firm Feeling.
The recent cold spell of weather had the
effect OF advancing prices to some extent
in the local wholesale produce market, al
though such advance is but temporary in
most respects. Butter remains unchanged
In price and is quite firm There is some
scarcity in top grades, and critical buyers
/ are willing to pay a fraction more than
quoted prices. Cheese shows no change
what ever, but eggs have advanced about
two cents a dozen, due to the cold weather.
The coming of warmer weather will, how
ever, drop prices. Poultry Is slightly high
er, while the market for game, owing to
the closed season here, has passed. Other
products show but slight changes in price,
and a generally active and firm feeling
prevails
