Market Changes Noted
wednesday. September 8. 1910.

wednesday, september \, 1870.
Sugar to-day is selling for 20 cents per
pound in most places, its sensational drop
recently not being further reduced. 1t
was intimated to-day that the price is
likely not to rise again, and tho reason
for the sudden drop was given as the
need of money by the refneries, who
were obliged to unload. Tho dealer inter-
viewed said ne was selling at a three cent
loss on every pound as the sugar had
cost him % per pound. Sugar was said
to be not money-maker for grocers, he
said. but they had to have 1t to bring
trade The stock on which he was losing,
however. was pretty nearly gone.
There was no great difference In the
retail prices to-day over those of a week
ago Vegetables were about the same,
and there were no particular additions to
the market stalls.
Homegrown cantaloupes are selling for
from II to so cents each. California apples
are in market, selling for 81 per dozen.
Native pears are 70 and so cents a dozen.
Nova Scotia bueberr1es were displayed
to-day by a grocer for AZ cents per basket.
Picking onions are 20 cents a pound
picking green peppers, 80 and GO cents i;
red peppers, 80 to Is cents.
raulhower Is selling for 12k to Is
cents per pound. Pumpkins are 20 and %
cents.
The potato crop is expected to be big
one if the weather holds good till late
fall. But IL rain falls in torrents the spuds
will rot and as n consequence the short
age will cause a big jump in price. But
n big season is expected.
