HI
SATURDAY, March 8, 1889.
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Eggs.are very firm at quotations. A choice
article in small lots sells readily at l6c.
Cheese failed to keep up the record it made
in former Lenten seasons, but is active and
firm. Genuine butter goes off like hot cakes
since oleomargarine has been knocked out.
Trade in vegetables gives no sign of improve
ment. Potatoes are coming in freely and
prices are if anything lower than in the fall.
The same is true of onions cabbage and tur-
nips. Choice apples are in better demand. An
improved demand for tropical fruits is also re-
ported by dealers, especially for Florida
oranges, which are growing scarce. In the line
of dairy products and hen fruit a leading deal
er reports the week now closing as the best for
trade since the beginning of the year.
While it cannot be said that there has been
a revival of produce trade. the tone has i'm
proved in the past week or two, and the few
mercy drops that have already come are greeted
by commission men as omens of the coming
shower for which all hope and pray.
