Country Produce-JobbIuE Prices.
Trade is quiet The demand for nice, fresh
poultryis better than it has been since Thanks
giving. Old stock, on the border Of decay, is 3
drug on the market. A large amount Of this
quality of stock was left over from Thanksgiv-
ing, and has exerted depressing influence on
markets. The supply of game is in excess of
demand. Quail are cheaper here than at Chi
cago and st. Louis the past few days. Any
quantity have been sold within day or two at
75c to 81 per dozen, while Western prices have
been 81 50 per dozen. Rabbits sold at II to l5c
. pair within day or two. Gray squirrels are
a drug at 75c to 81 per dozen. and red squirrels
can hardly be given away. In the line of gen.
eral produce markets are unchanged. There
is an active movement of choice dairy products
In the next week all cheese products will be in
the hands of dealers and a rise is confidently
looked for. Choice creamery butter and fresh
laid eggs are very firm. Country butter is slow.
