MONDAY, November 8, 1890. )
Country PrOduce-Jobbing Prices.

Receipts of country butter the past few days
have very much increased and markets have
weakened. Fancy country rolls are fairly
steady, but common and low grade stock is
dull and at decline. There is an improved
supply of fresh eggs, and dealers to-day report
23c as the top price. Domestic sweitzer cheese
is weak, but imported has been advanced lc
per under the influence of the new tariff.
All vegetables continue dull with the ex-
ception of potatoes, which are firm and likely
togo higher. 1t is the view of leading commits
sion men that choice potatoes will reach 81 70
per bushel in jobbing way before the month
is out Grapes are still plenty, and until the
crop is worked off other fruits will 60 slow.
