White potatoes, which were high priced
all last year, are retailing in Philadelphia
for Sd cents and 80 cents a bushel. There
was al immense crop in Michigan, which
came into the market late and caused the
price to 60 down. Some who bought
white potatoes early last fall will lose on
them, and the low price does not give en-
c%ouragement to plant heavily this year.
A farmer at Salem sold his hogs dressed
to a meat dealer at the wholesale price,
but said he wanted the hams and should
ers. Both agreed on the regular price.
After the farmer got the hams into his
wagon he asked what was the balance. |
The butcher replied. "There is nothing; |
you owe me So. 49," AS both charges
were what were agreed upon the farmer
paid it.
Five cent layer cakes at Davis's.
WANTED-Girl for office work. Fourteen
to sixteen years old. IS. R. Leap & Son.
Sweet potato prices continue low and
the market is dull, at about $l.75 a bar
rel. They are retailing at from 35 cents
to 45 cents a basket in Philadelphia. They
are rotting badly in store-houses. Some
claim it is because they were grown with
kainit and the salt makes them watery.
Others declare it was because the rains
came SO late in September that the pota-
toes grew quickly and made them watery
and of poor quality.
