Show STRAWBERRY PRICES. The Protliircru flr"inul Mown lo Sliu-vhi rrlci'K- WIi.i'h In Ilium.-? The low price which strawberries are bringing at this time of year is something to be regretted. Some berries have already been disposed of at fifty cents a case, and it is said the producers will be ground down to hall that price before the season is over. Still it might be worse in New York a few year?' ago straw her rieB were felling :i( one cent a cup, or fifteen cents a case, which is only a Cent or two above the cost of picking. Last year at the beginning of the season sea-son in Brigham i.hese berries I brought over treble what they do now and they were considered : cheap at t.hat price. The entire city is robbed and crippled by such starving prices fur its products. The fruit and berry producers should come to some understand-ingand understand-ingand we believe the shippers will help them nut in a light for living prices for the fiuits of their toils. |
