Country Produce-JobbIng Prices.


Strawberries are coming in freely, but in poor
shape, a fact charged up by commission men to
unfavorable weather. Prices have declined
and l5c per quart is the outside figure to-day
Homegrown berries will be two weeks behind
average time of arrival on account of rainy,
cold weather. Volume of trade in the line Of
dairy products last week was the largest of the
season. Demand for new cheese was far in ex-
cess of supply. The same was true Of fresh
nearby eggs. Many OF our dealers found it
necessary to draw on their stock Of cold storage
eggs to supply customers, thing heretofore
unknown this early in the season. Country
roll butter IS hard to sell at any price. Now
that grass is at its best and the yield is extra
large owing to continuous rains, butter is un-
usually abundant. Country rolls have not been
so low for many years. Quality Is now at its
best and prices are at their lowest. The stock
Of Swiss style Of cheese is very low and demand
is so active that an advance is probable before
the week is out. The general produce trade
was reported by dealers quiet to-day, as It uni
formly is on Monday All signs, however,
point to lively week.
