MONDAY. December 2, 1889.
Country Produce-JObbing Prices.
Mondays usual quietness prevailed in prod
uce lines. Poultry and game are very quiet
since Thanksgiving and prices are of. South
ern sweet potatoes are practically out Of mar
ket. Jerseys are firm and higher. Irish pota-
toes are slow. There is an improved demand
for fancy apples, and prices are stifenipg.
Florida oranges are coming in freely, and quail
ity is much improved over early receipts. There
are no changes in dairy products since our last
report. Choice stock is firm at quotations, but
low grade stuff is neglected. Fresh laid eggs
would very readily bring an advance Of sc per
dozen on quotations below in a ajobbing way.
They are hard to be had at any price. The
short crop of nearby poultry has resulted in an
unusual scarcity Of fresh laid eyes for this time
of the year.
