POTATO DIGGERS SCARCE
AND MARKET IS FIRMER
Carload of Alberta Peaches from
Utah Speedily SoId-But-
ter Is Weaker

The advance of cents per cwt. in po-
tatoes in the north is considered to be due
to the fact that labor is difficult to Sc
cure. Better pay is available in the fruit
sections. Tho spud market locally is steady
to firm at present quotations.
Select Alberta peaches from Utah, claim
ed to be the best known, are in the local
market. The carload consignment was
speedily sold at S101.25 a lug box
Eggs are firmer, but there is lower
tone in the butter market. Receipts of but
ter were comparatively light
Onions are weaker, due largely TO con-
tinued weakness in the north.
No change in fruit and vegetable prices.
Barracuda is scarce. All other varieties
Of fish plentiful
