PRICES
Arc Slightly Higher In
The Larger Cities.
DEMAND FOR SUGARS
10 Quite Large Owing 70 the
Amount Of Fruit That 10 Be-
ing Used by House
wives.

The cattle markets all over, the
country are firm and higher for the
better grade of grain fed steers. Prices
range from Sc to $3.50 per cwt at Last
Liberty. The greatest advance is in
hogs, which are quoted from 5 to Is
cents higher in all the central markets.
The prices in Canton arc unchanged,
but there is still likelihood of the ex-
pected reduction in the prices Of meats
to consumers.
The sugar trade Is one OF the most
active in the city. Raspberries, cur
rants and gooseberries are being bought
in largo quantities for canning and
Jelly making, and this creates great
demand for sugar. Grauulated is
about the only kind sold, as 1t is
considered cheaper at cents than
the other grades. Some dealers sell
below cents when quantity Is pur-
chased.
Eggs remain at 20 cents and are not
very plentiful at that. 1t is notice
able that the most of the eggs offered
are from the small non-setting breeds
Of fowls, and as a result the eggs arc
small sized and usually white in color
