OFFICE OF PITTsBURG DISPATCH,
THURSDAY. December II, 1889.

Country Produce-JObbing Prices.
Game and poultry are in excess sive supply
and markets are very weak. Slowness of poul-
try and game is charged up by dealers to con-
tinued soft weather. Potatoes are irmer, owing
to light receipts. Apples are very slow. Florida
and Jamaica oranges are in supply far beyond
demand. and prices are lower than they have
been for years at this time. A leading jobber
reports that he has telegraphed to shippers to
withhold their stock, as there is no market here
for oranges, and will not be until the stuff on
hand is worked of. Fully one-half Of the
Florida oranges are already in the hands Of
dealers. Large quantities of the fruit have
been shipped this season before fully ripe,
showing an eagerness for filthy lucre on the
Florida peninsula. Much OF the fruit has evil
IDENTIFY been picked before it was fully ripe.
Higher prices are sure to come soon after the
holidays At present markets drag.
