OFFICE OF PITTsBURG DISPATCH, I
MONDAY, December s, 1890.
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.

Monday is always an off day in this depart
ment of trade, and to-day was no exception.
The cold snap has impaired strength to the egg
market, which advanced a week or more ago.
Retail price of strictly fresh nearby eggs was
S5@4Oc in Diamond markets on Saturday. The
best Western stock is selling in round lots for
2Sc per Dozen and has been for a week past.
Poultry is in fair supply. but demand is light.
The average consumer is apparently taking tn.
rest which follows Thanksgiving and precedes
Christmas. Prices of choice apples and pota-
toes still rule firm. Supply in this market is
light and future changes promise to be toward
higher level. though they have already passed
into the list of luxuries.
