Friday was one of the best days in produce
lines for week or two past. Potatoes and ap-
Piles, which have been a drug all season, moved
out freely. One jobber, who has had a blue
cast on his countenance and in his speech all
season, puts on an optimistic hue to-day, and
says trade Is improving. Rome Beauty apples
sold at 81 Is, which week or Two ago would
have been slow at 81 rs. To-day's snowstorm
seemed to check the onward movement but
the week winds up with an improved record
over recent weeks. Butter is active enough to
bring an advance before many days. Wild
winter weather has served as a stimulus to
egg markets, and holders are irmer in their
views to-day than for a week or TWO past. A
leading Jobber who sold yesterday at uc and
1116c said he had nothing to-day in the egg line
under 12c. Cheese is in active demand at old
rates. The first shipment of Strawberries direct
from Florida was received at Liberty street
commits sion house this morning. The beautiful
berry opened up nice and blushing. in the
heaviest snowstorm of the season.
