SATURDAY, May II. 1880. s
Country FREDERICKSBURG Prices.
Eggs are In short supply, and choice, nearby
stock readily brings outside quotations in job
lots. Some dealers report sales at lac per
dozen. The movement in fine grades OF cream
cry butter is active at the decline. Demand for
new cheese Of high grade is in excess OF sup
ply.
Liberty street commission man said to-day:
~ could have easily sold 200 to 800 boxes more
Of new Ohio cheese yesterday and to-day than
was able to furnish" The quality Of country
produce coming to market is not first-class. The
delay Of trains, caused by heavy rains the past
week or more, has had the effect of more or less
depreciating stock. While there is plenty in
fruit and vegetable lines much that is offered
for sale is inferior. The stock Of poor potatoes
has been we'll cleaned up, and choice stock is
frmer. All choice tropical fruits are strong
with the exception of lemons, which are over
plenty and lower.
