Country Produce-JObbing Prices.
Commission merchants report that produce
trade gives few signs of being alive. The mild
weather of the past few days has brought eggs
to lower level, but movement is active. At
Chicago an advance of 51c per dozen is reported
to-day with frmer markets. All vegetables
move very slowly. Carload lots Of potatoes
have been showed on to markets within few
days at Csc per bushel, according to we'll
authenticated reports. As the time for the
new crop of vegetables approaches, old stock
grows more and more sluggish. 1t is now but
six weeks until the old passes out Of market,
and as there has been too much stuff for de-
mands all winter what is left over is almost
given away. 1t is only question now with
farmers how much can be saved out OF the sur
plus.
