Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Markets have not often been so flooded with
country butter as they are at this date. The
downward drift of creamery butter has been
checked, and holders are frmer in their views.
In New York and Chicago prices are 1c stronger
than they were last week. Eggs, too, are firmer
than for a week or two past New cheese is
steadily improving in quality. but prices are
unchanged. A drop is looked for soon. New
potatoes come in freely from Mobile, and are
in good demand at IS per barrel. The cool wave
has slightly checked the boom in tropical
fruits, but demand is still fair. The quality OF
strawberries coming to the market is nothing
to brag of. Supplies begin to come from Nor
folk. The home crop is not expected to reach
the average by reason OF late frosts.
