Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Trade was scarcely as active to-day as yester-
day. Creamery butter. it was resolved by the
powers that be at Elgin, is to remain the same
this week as last. The demand continues ac-
tive, but dealers do not expect present prices to
hold much longer, in view of the fine grazing
prospects. The bulk of eggs sold bring no more
than lie, which is a poor record for Easter
times. A scarcity of goose eggs has lifted prices
as far above the Easter average as hen eggs
are below the average. As with hen fruit,
SO is 1t with cheese. that markets are unprece-
IDENTIFY slow for this time Of the year. The sup
ply of Ohio cheese is unusually light, but de-
mand seems to correspond. Swiss cheeses have
not for many years been as slow as now. Low
grades can hardly be given away, Even on
choice grades the cash buyer will find the job
ber ready to concede on quotations.
