Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Choice green stuff is scarce, and prices are
more than maintained. Large quantities oi
green stuff have been coming to market in pool
shape. Good goods readily bring quotations
The offerings of choice vegetables and berries
were light to-day, and markets were quiet for
the reason that there was not enough to 60
around. Choice dairy products are good stock
at prices of last week. Good cabbage is scarce
and higher. Old cheese of high grade is very
scarce, and markets are very firm. New cheese
ls beginning to show up. but is too fresh to
meet the demands of trade. Tropical fruits of
good stock is firmly held at quotations. Mar
kets nave been overdosed with inferior pota-
Toes tne past week, and the result is general
oppression. Holders of good stock are, how
ever, very hrm in their views OF values, and
snow no disposition to concede.
