Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
More signs Of activity appeared in front Of
the Liberty street commission houses to-day
than for some weeks past. Creamery butter is
specially active. Eggs are moving freely with
1l1$c as the outside figure. A leading jobber
in these lines reports that his trade was better
yesterday and to-day than any time this season.
Said he: Il refused an order for so cases of
eggs at lie yesterday" Another whose trade
is chiefly in general produce, and who has not
been able to see anything good in the outlook
for months past, said: Trade is a shade better.
The tone is healthier. 1t begins to look as if
bottom has been reached, and that better
things are before u.s." Bright weather and
active demand have certainly put better
heart into produce commission merchants.
