Local Quotations Show General Shift
Butter Is Advanced.
| Almost g. general change in prices
is shown today by the quotations in the
local market. Ranch butter has ad-
vanced, the wholesale price being from
rs to 30 cents per pound and the re-
tail from 80 to 35 cents, the choicest
selling at the latter price. Butter fat
shows an advance of three cents per
pound and the wholesale price of
creamery Is now 80 cents per pound
and the retail 40 cents. Tomatoes
are plentiful and sell at cents per
pound. Watermelons now bring rs
cents per hundred wholesale and are
very plentiful. A big shipment of
choice Bartlett pears from Washington
are on the market and sell at 81 per
box. There are practically no local
Bartlett pears and the present supply is
probably all that will be on the market
this season. Peaches are plentiful and
moving well. The average wholesale
price is so cents per crate and the re-
tail from So to 70 cents. Grapes from
Emmett sell at from four to Ave cents
per pound and California Tokays
bring 65 cents per basket Potatoes
and cabbage are both lower on the
wholesale market and receipts are fair.
The week just closed has been the
most active on the livestock market
for some months. Hog receipts have
been good and most of the porkers Of
fered have been will finished. Another
advance has occurred on hogs and
| farmers are taking advantage of the
high prices being paid. Cattle. sheep,
lambs and poultry receipts have been
good and the retail trade has kept pace
with the wholesale being extraordinary
for the week.
i Considerable activity has been shown
in the hay and grain market the past
few days. the heaviest offerings being
on oats and barley. The wheat move
ment has been fair.
