The tone of egg and poultry markets is
strong and the drift of markets in both lines is
toward higher level. Choice cabbage is very
firm. In fact, everything in produce lines that
is strictly choice readily commands outside
quotations. The difficulty is that choice stun
is unusually scarce. The effect of the open
winter has been to very much lower the quality
of offerings. A good quality Of potatoes is not
easy to obtain. Any offerings Of good potatoes
are readily taken at our quotations. The sup
ply of Florida oranges has been in excess Of
demand for few days past, and, as result,
markets show weakening tendencies. Mon
day is as a rule one Of the quiet days OF the
week IN general produce lines, and to-day is no
exception to the rule. All commission men re-
port the usual blue Monday.
