Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Nearby eggs are in good demand and prices
for the same have advanced 1c since the begin
ming of the week. Cold storage hen fruit finds
hard roads to travel. There is no let-up to the
active movement in country butter and una
dulterated creamery. The recent active move
ment in butter is the result largely OF depres-
sion in butterine, caused by makers and execu-
tors of the State law. Dealers have found the
sale Of oleomargarine too risky, when 500
fine and imprisonment stares them in the face.
Produce commission merchants report this as
the quietest day of the week. For the first
three days of the week business was more ac-
tive than it has been for some weeks past, and
a more hopeful feeling began to spring up.
The produce men who have made ends meet
the past winter are not in the majority. A
leading produce dealer reports a loss on the
winters trade and expresses the belief that his
competitors are generally in the same boat.
