Country Produce-JobbIns Prices.


FRIDAY. May 8, 1889.
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Eggs are tending upward. with 1211Sc as the
outside figure. Butter Is drifting in the other
direction on account of liberal receipts. The
advance in apples has brought abundant sup
plies to markets, andprices are off from few
days ago. Potatoes are slow as ever. The old
stock is being worked off by farmers at what
ever it Will bring. A countryman from the
Panhandle region reports that potatoes can be
bought there for 10c bushel. A year ago they
sold at 81. Poultry was never scarcer through
Western Pennsylvania than it is at this date.
Strawberries are in supply above demand, and
a reasonably good article can be bought to-day
for from 10 to 15c per quart. Sweitzer cheese
is slow. The knocking out of so many saloons
in this city's bailiwick has had depressing in
fuence on trade in Limburger and Sweitzer
cheese, so dealers report.
