Country Produce-Jobbiug Prices.
Elgin creamery butter is firm at last weeks
prices. when markets were very weak. The
lowest point of the season has no doubt, been
reached, and any future changes are apt to be
toward higher prices. Country roll butter has
scarcely any value. Shippers have been with
holding stock of late. A leading Liberty street
commission man said to-day: "I find it impossi-
BILE of late to sell country rolls at a decent
price. One of my customers lately shipped me
l,OOO pounds with instructions to sell at what
ever could get. l had to sell 1t for grease at
21Sc per pound, and yet it was a fair quality Of
butter" New Ohio cheese is coming freely,
and it is only question of few days when
quotations will be reduced. Eggs are in good
supply and prices are a shade lower. For job
lots l5c per dozen is now the outside price.
Strawberries of choice quality are scarce and
firm. New potatoes are tending downward,
Good old stock is firm. Cabbage OF good quail
ity are scarce and firm. Lemons and oranges
are tending upward. Bananas are quiet at
quotations. owing to liberal supplies. Poultry
Is plenty and lower.
