Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Apples are moving out more freely, but sup
plies are coming in large enough to keep prices
down. There is a better demand for potatoes
than for some time past, but prices fail to turn
upward. Eggs are at q standstill but firm.
Strawberries come in too freely for demands Of
trade, and prices are drifting toward the aver
age citizens pocketbook. Florida string beans
and marrow fat peas are in good supply and de-
mand. New cabbage is plenty and slow. Tropl-
cal fruits are in good demand and show an up
ward drift. Creamery butter holds up un-
usually well for the time of the year. Dealers
have been carrying light stocks for week or
two, fearing a break in markets. Stocks are
SO bare that there is a difficulty meeting de-
mands. Choice grades of new cheese are not
in supply up to demand, but it will not be long
until the difficulty will correct itself, as quality
