Country Produce-JObbing Prices.
1t is too early in the week to furnish produce
pointers Monday is ever blue in this line.
There is, however, more hopeful feeling
among dealers generally. Creamery butter
continues in active demand, and an advance is
almost certain in the near future. Eggs in Job
lots can be had at l115c. A favorable weeks
weather, it is thought, will lift produce trade
out of the slough of despond, where it has been
all the past winter. Certain it is that more
hopeful feeling prevails among merchants than
for months past. For some unknown reason
there is a scarcity of beeswax and consequent
advance in prices.
