Country Produce-Jobbina Prices.
Activity was the rule in this line to-day, with
most interest manifested in all descriptions of
new vegetables, strawberries and fruits. The
period between the Southeastern and Western
berry seasons is at hand, and from this on
home raised berries will have the call. A few
lots were received this morning from Stops
Ferry and from various points along the Steu-
benviIle pike. They were large and attractive
and were all picked up early by the stall
keepers OF the retail markets. Prices ranged
from 6@l2c per quart, and "a 50@5 so per two
bushel stands the outside prices for very
choice stock. Berries from Maryland and other
Eastern points were in poor condition and
almost unstable. New potatoes had a better
movement and we're firm at the decline. Miss
issippi tomatoes and all kinds of Southern
cabbage sold well at quotations. Dairy prod
ucts were steady, with intimations that the
market would move upward soon. Eggs were
shade hrmer, but live poultry was bar ely
steady under largely increased receipts. No
dressed poultry coming forward; prices NOM
mat Tropical fruits continue to show an up
ward tendency.
