Country Produce-JobbIng Prices.
There was an oversupply Of strawberries on
the market to-day and some of fair quality
sold as low as SC per box. few carloads of
Tennessee berries arrived this morning, but
were not in good enough shape to justify deal
ers in paying freight One car with $50 crates
the consignee declined to pay freight on, and
the stock was turned over to the Pennsylvania
Company to secure freight bill, which amounted
to $50 Cabbage is coming in moro freely than
for the past few weeks and prices are a shade
lower. New Southern potatoes are in good
supply, and markets are weaker. Choice old
stock is steady at prices quoted. In the line of
dairy products, butter Of all grades is very
slow and prices are drifting down. Country
rolls are hard to quote, as prices are only nom-
inal. A good article is slow at our inside quota
tions. There is an improved supply of new
cheese. bat still not enough to meet demand.
Prices are steady, but in another week or two
receipts will be large. Eggs are in fair supply
and prices are unchanged.
