Country PrOduce-JObbIng Prices.
All dairy products are firm at quotations.
Cheese is firm at shade higher prices than
week ago. The demand for choice grades OF
butter is good and prices are steady. Potatoes
are weak. Apples hrmer for choice stock.
Malaga grapes and California pears are scarce
and firm. Advices from sources Of supply in
dicate light crops. The steady rains Of the past
week have had an unfavorable influence on
produce trade. Commission merchants along
Liberty street are doing not little growing
because the city authorities have placed their
ban on using sidewalks and streets for storing
cabbage. There is objection both to smell and
occupying space, and number Of commission
men have been sued by city authorities on the
ground that their cabbage pyramids have be-
come a public nuisance. The position taken
by the city authorities is that no more cabbage
must appear on the thoroughfare except in
barrels.
