Country produce-Jobbins Prices.

Country Hroduce-JObbing Prices.
Bottom is clear out of egg market Not for
many year have prices been as low this early
in the season. Job lots were sold yesterday at
1216c, and there are produce men today who
would be glad to unload at 12c At the Pan
handle freight depot there were in the neigh
borhood of 5000 cases yesterday from Tennes-
see on which there will be a loss to Pittsburg
dealers of not less than &c per dozen at present
prices The trouble with the trade is that
home hens have been doing such good work in
the past few weeks of balmy weather Produce
men seem fated this season to be losers to the
last. Old vegetable stock is being displaced by
new. The garbage pile is absorbing the ex-
pected profits on onions and apples. And now
the early spring weather comes in to blast
hopes of profit on hen fruit and dairy products
Verify, the winter and spring of 1889 have been
thoroughly disappointing to produce men,
whether on the farm or in the warehouse.
