Country Produce-JObbing Prices.
Weather was about as miserable as it could
be- and transactions in produce lines were very
light Supply of strictly fresh nearby eggs is
far below demand, and prices are still moving
upward. With an eye to the main chance,
city expressman bought up quantity of cold
storage eggs yesterday and conveyed them
around by the Monongahela wharfDoat with a
view to selling out his stock as eggs fresh from
the farms of the Ohio Valley. The trick might
enable him to derive an extra &c per dozen on
his stock. but it is only a question Of time when
such trickery is exposed and the trlckster finds
his proper level. The grape season, which has
tarried unusually long this year, IS now over.
Potatoes are drifting upward. Fancy stock
readily commands outside quotations The
