Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Choice grades of potatoes are moving freely
at quotations. Inferior stock with which mar
kets have been flooded for a few weeks past
are very hard to sell at any price. Jersey sweet
potatoes are firm, but Southern are slow The
season for nuts is fully on and demand is good.
The yield this season is below average. Cab
bage is in bountiful supply and markets are
quiet. The grape season draws to It's end and
prices are weak. Heavy frosts of late have
lowered quality of offerings. Eggs are higher
and firm at the advance. There is no trouble
getting 23c for choice hen fruit and at these
figures it is cheaper than the cold storage arti-
Gle at 21c. Butter is quiet at recent decline.
Oleo is again looming up in spite Of fines and
imprisonment, and its presence in market has
depressing influence on genuine butter.
Elgin creamery is of lc from rates Of last
week.
