MONDAY. January g. 1890. !
Country PrOduce-JObbIng Prices.
Prices of eggs and country roll butter have
been softening for day or two past. Strictly
fresh country eggs, which had no shadow of
suspicion on them, were jobbed on Saturday at
25c, and to-day the outside price is 24c. A
peddler from Clinton reported to the market
reporter Of THE DISPATCH that he had dis
posed Of all his stock of eggs to the stores
readily at &c on Saturday Soft weather has
had depressing influence on country butter
for some time past and prices are lower, but
choice stock and high grade creamery are
fairly steady at rates which have ruled for the
past week or two. The depression is mainly
felt on low grade stock The cheese market is
quiet. Visible supply is larger than at this
time year ago and prices in New York are
l015c against 12c per pound in January 1888 and
1889. and 13c in 1887. The visible supply shows
slight gain each year for the past four years
in number Of cheese. But against this stands
the fact that the average weight Of cheese bas
been steadily reduced.
