Country PrOduce-JObbing Prices.
The milder weather of the past few days is
felt in the egg market. The best that can be had
for choice nearby eggs is 15c. The Elgin Butter
Board dropped prices of creamery butter lc on
Monday. The decline goes into effect here to-
morrow, Thursday. There are no new features
in general prodnce lines The situation gives
no sign of Improvement. Produce men see no
bright side. Notwithstanding prices have not
been so low for score or more of years at this
time OF the year, trade is slow and customers
are inclined to pursue the hand to mouth pol
icy. Goshen cheese and new maple syrnp are
about the only things in country produce lines
that are active. For all else markets are in
favor of buyers, as they have been for months
past, and will be till the over-supply is worked
off
