Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Last weeks prices of EIgin creamery butter
were reaffirmed at the weekly meeting of the
Board. Markets closed steady. Country butter
has only a nominal value. Only fancy stock is
in demand. Common and low grades are poor
stock at lowest figures. The scarcity of fresh
nearby eggs still co ptinues. Not few are
being sold for nearby which have travelled
from the farthest West. There has been an
overstock of poultry since Thanksgiving and
markets are weak. Choice potatoes and apples
are firm. Supply OF potatoes in this market is
light, and a few days of such cold weather as
we are having will undoubtedly send prices up,
in spite of the fact that prices are now higher
than they have been for many years. When
jobbing prices of potatoes reach 81 25 per
bushel, as dealers predict, and that soon, this
