LOCAL BUTTER HIGHER
AND EGGS ARE FIRMER
Berries and Cherries in Liberal
SuppIy-NeW Celery Is
SOC a Crate

Fluctuations in eggs in San Francisco serve
to influence the quotation committee In the
local market. Advance in the northern city
resulted in placing the buying price OF case
counts locally at % cents fiat.
Butter receipts were 1898 pounds, but
quotations were advanced 1 cent pound, con-
trary 10 all expectations.
Strawberry receipts in the produce market
yesterday were less than $500 crates. The
market was firm at 3Q4c Raspberries de-
ciined 1 cent. Market Is firm on biackberries
at 6a7c. The crop Of the latter seems to be
exceedingly short this season. Gooseberries
are stll selling at 10 cents. Shipments are
comparatively light.
In the green goods market a further ad-
vance occurred in asparagus, the supply oil
which is rapidly diminishing. Bunch goods
went up Cabbage was weak. Beans were
more plentiful and lower in price. Celery,
the supply of which is So tmall that only the
very largest hotels and cafes can afford to
use 1t, advanced another 90 cents a crate.
What few dealers are receiving sweet pota-
toes are certainly receiving fancy prices. Inc
supply has been so light for number OF
weeks that it has not been worth while to
the farmer TO ship by rail. The best OF
sweets, which arc not fancy in the strlctest
sense Of the term, bring from Sl75 to " a
Cherry receipts we're 500 boxes. White de-
clined 1 cent a pound, and blacks were down
to 8 cents. Fifty to seventy-ive crates OF
apricots reached the market, and the price de-
clined 50 cents and the market was weak on
loquats. No cantaloupes have been reported in
for several days.
All kinds of fish plentiful.
Receipts Of produce were: Eggs, 30 cases.
