OFFICE OF PITTSBURG DISPATCH,
WEDNESDAY. December II, 1890.

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
The snow blockade has put quietus on
trade in this line. Farmers and consumers are
showed in, and very little is doing. There is
no change in prices. Country butter and fresh
eggs are firm at quotations. Potatoes are COM
ing in more freely, but markets are firm, with
an upward tendency. Cabbage is also tending
i'll the same direction. Poultry and game are
in good supply, and prices are steady. There
is little fear OF q glut in poultry. Such thing
has not occurred in many years at Christmas
times. There is more probability of shortage
than glut in the view of commission men.
