,
Country Produce-JobbIng Prices.
All along produce lines markets are quiet
but old prices are maintained. as stun has been
for some time down TO hard pan. Retailers were
well stocked up some time ago, in anticipation
Of the ordiMrY cold weather for this time of
the year. As the weather has not panned out
according to anticipations, commission men
md trade dull. A few frosty mornings would
stimulate trade Until the weather comes up
in its natural winter style, there can be little
activity to trade. One of our leading jobbers
of dairy products said to-day: I'VE are nov in
the midst Of our dul1est season. While prices
are maintained, the movement of stuff is slow,
as compared with few weeks ago. We expect
a quiet trade at this season, but weather has
made 1t quieter than usual"
