MONDAY. December 16, 1889.

Country PrOduce-JObbiug Prices.
Monday seldom develops any new features
to general produce trade. To-day is no excep-
tion to the rnle Trade Is quiet all along the
line. In the line of dairy products, butter is
the strong factor and the drift is toward higher
prices Supply of cabbage is small and mar
kets are very firm. In fruit lines cranberries
are the strong factor. The bulk of stock is now
in the hands of men who can afford TO bide
their time and who will wait until they can
have their own prices The advance In cram
berries the past week or two has been equiva-
lent to s. per barrel, and markets are firm at
the advance. Game is very slow, and unless
sharp, frosty weather comes to the rescue.
dealers in this line are likely to suffer heavy
loss. There has not often been time this late
in the year when game was SO plenty and cheap
as it is now.
