Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Butter and egg markets are lively, without
any change in prices. A scarcity Of good coun-
try butter is reported for the reason that we are
now in the season which is between hay and
grass. Eggs are in good demand until 12c is
asked by the jobber. Then trade suddenly be-
comes slow. There is an active demand for
choice apples. One Liberty street commission
merchant reports sales of 100 barrels OF Rome
Beauties and Willows to-day at 81 to 81 25 per
barrels. Potatoes give no signs of improve
ment Onions, cabbage and tnrnips can hardly
be given away. 1t cannot be long until all old
stuff will be worked OF at greater or less loss.
The hope of commission men is that we will not
again for a term of years enjoy such bountiful
crop from ield and garden. Another such
abundant year as the past has been would
knock out the commission trade and be utterly
discouraging to producers.
