GROCERIES ARE UNCHANGED
OFFICE OF PTTTSBURG DISPATCH,
TUESDAY. December IL, 1890. !

Last weeks creamery butter prices were re-
affirmed at the meeting Of the Elgin board on
Monday, but markets were very firm. There IS
a growing demand for COW butter since the dis
turbance of oleo dealers. Tone of cheese mar
kets shows strength but prices are unchanged.
Supply of fresh eggs is improving. Strictly
fresh stock sells readily at outside quotations.
Potatoes and apples are coming in more freely
than for a week or two past, and the latter are
not so high-priced as they were week ago.
Potatoes are firm at prices quoted. Supply of
oranges is large and markets show weakness
within day or two. The first pneapples of
the season are sale this week and are selling
at 20 to 25c apiece. New Florida tomatoes have
also arrived, but are an expensive luxury, as
they sell at the rate of s2 % per peck.
