A QUIET MOVEMENT OF GROCERIES
OFFICE OF PITTsBURG DISPATCH,
SATURDAY, Dec. q, 1891.
. Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.

~ Country Produce-JODDlnS HrlceS.
Trade was very quiet at commission houses
for two good reasons. The lull which uniformly
follows Christmas, together with the snow
blockade, are felt in all trade lines. Prices are
essentially the same as they have been quoted
for few weeks past. Poultry is in short sup
ply, and markets are firm at outside quota
tions. Western and Southern eggs are easy
and prices have dropped within few days,
Nearby stock is steady. Potatoes are coming
in freely of late and prices are shade lower.
Apples are very firm, and fancy stock is in good
demand at outside quotations.
