Country Produce-JobbIng Prices.
The season is now here when butter is plenti-
est and markets show weakening tendencies
all along the line. Our quotations on Elgin and
Ohio creamery butter are lowered, in accord
ance with the facts of the case. Eggs are NOV
ing upward and choice nearby stock is firm at
outside quotations. Receipts of new Ohio
cheese are increasing and quality is improving
Demand is greater than supply. New cheese
from New York of very fancy quality begins to
show up. There is practically no old cheese on
the market. All offerings are new stock. In
the line of vegetables and fruits, markets are
bare. as a rule. Consignments of berries. pine
apples and new potatoes from the South have
been delayed for a few days past by reason of
heavy rains all over the country. Supplies in
these lines have not been up to demand for
number of days. Stuff is likely to come in with
a rush at any time, and the feast which follows
the famine Will ensue. Green beans are about
the only article in garden truck lines that are
drug. In tropical fruit lines. oranges are very
firm and prices tend upward. Lemons are weak
on liberal supplies. Bananas are steady. The
first new Southern potatoes Of the season were
on the market this week.
