FEW PEACHES I FOR CANNING

' With indications pointing to the most meager crop in years, prospects are that few peaches for canning purposes will be offered on the local market this season, local dealers say. Alberta, peaches are scarce and high. Indiana' and home grown are in the same class. ; Potatoes are now bringing the fancy quotation of $1.50 per bushel on local markets." There is little prospect of a material drop from this price, according to local dealers. Sweet corn, home grown and of fair quality, is fairly plentiful. It is selling at ten cents the dozen. Melons, boih watermelons and nutmegs of good quality are being offered at standard prices. The home grown crop of muskmelons promises to be an average one. Finis is about to be written to the berry and pineapple seasons.
