Country PrOduce-JObblng Prices.
A scarcity of fresh eggs is reported by COM
mission men, and outside quotations are readily
obtained In single case lots 17c is the ruling
rate for a day or two past. Poultry Is easier on
liberal supplies, but the Iull is regarded only
temporary and good demand is expected be-
fore the week is out. Cheese is firm enough to
go higher at an early day. Sweitzer cheese is
very firm all over the country, and while there
is no advance as yet in this market, choice
grades, which are scarce, can hardly fail to ad-
vance before the week is out. Low grades are
very Door stock. Tropical fruits are more ac-
tive than they have been for a few weeks past.
Florida oranges are no longer in bountiful sup
ply. Their day draws near its end for this sea-
son. Valencias and Messinas are plenty. Ba-
nanas and lemons are in fair demand, with
markets unchanged. Onions are weak and
lower. Choice potatoes are steady. The job
bing seed trade is active but the retail trade is
very quiet, fact attributed by seedsmen to the
wretched condition Of country roads IN this
section.
