jobbed at $l0.50 single barrel and $40 a
barrel in five-barrel lots The goods go
on sale today.
Activity was noted in the butter market
yesterday because the receipts of fresh
creamery from the north were light, and
all trains were late. Local creameries
are enjoying an unusually prosperous sea-
son In face of all kinds of shipments that
have come from the east In carload lots.

from storage. Although the article Is
scarce it Is doubtful whether prices Will
be advanced tomorrow when the creamery

way into trade channels.

changed, with fancy still scarce and the
demand active. From the Sacramento
valley is the greater part of the stock

grapes prices took leap upward, mus
way peaches $1.25 a box Demand was
good and jobbers cleaned up stocks:
