Country PrOduce-JObbing Prices.
Cheese making is near its end for this season,
and factories are stocking up for winters trade.
Some factories are already closed. and inside Of
so days all will be closed. A rise in prices is
looked for by dealers at an early day. At pres
ent trade is quiet. Eggs are very firm at quota
tions, and choice country stock is quickly taken
at decided advance on market rates. Re
ceipts of Western potatoes are on the decline.
Shippers have discovered by dear experience
that it didn't pay to consign potatoes to Pitts
burg markets. In multitude OF cases there
was scarcely enough left to pay freights. II the
Iowa or Michigan shipper saved 10c bushel
out of his deal the past month he was exceed
ingly happy. Sweet potatoes are firm at quota
tions. The demand for choice apples is i'm
proving. Tropical fruits are quiet.
