Country yProduce-JobbingP Prices.
Creamery butter is weaker and fresh eggs are
firmer. Wintyy weather has had the effect of
curtailing supplies of fresh eggs. and the few
coming IN are firmly held at outside quotations.
Cold storage stock is still quiet. Supply of
potatoes has increased of late, and prices are a
shade lower than they were week ago. Good
stock, which is scarce, is not likely to go lower
this season. A really good potato is a scarce
article in our markets. Quality is lower and
price higher than for many year past. Apples
are firm, and fancy stock sells readily at prices
quoted. Demand for tropical fruits shows
slight improvement of late, and prices for the
New Year are likely to be higher. Bananas and
Florida oranges are very firm at present prices.
