Country Produce-Jobbing Price

Country Pr0duce-JObD1ng Rr1cess
The week is not far enough along to furnish
reliable pointers in produce lines. The mild
weather of the past week has weakened prices
OF eggs. To-day the best in market can be had
at I4c in job lots. A single case is sold at l5c
Florida cabbage begins to come in freely, and
old stock is hard to sell at any price. "Old
things are passing away" The time is near
when last seasons stuff must take back seat
The farmers who disposed of their stock last
fall were wisest. A leading commission mer-
chant said to-day: II laid in good supply OF
vegetables and fruits last fall, in the faith that
in the early spring things would be scarce and
1 would reap a nice profit This season, how
ever has upset all calculations" Prices are no
better than in the fall, on some things not as
good. A large percentage in some lines has
been lost by rot. Taking the seasons trade all
through the majority of produce men have
been losers. 1t has been the worst season on
record for the dealer who had capital and in
vested it in produce in the fall.
