SATURDAY. November s. 1890.
Country Produce-Jobb bling Prices.
Supply of potatoes is improving, put choice
stock is firm at quotations. Sweet potatoes are
in good demand. and outside prices rule for
Jersey stock. Grapes are still plenty, but their
day is nearly over. Choice dairy products are
very firm, but low grade stock is dull and slow.
1t has been many years since Sweitzer cheese
was low in price at this time of the year as 1t
is now. Prices were low last year, but are fully
1c per pound lower now than then. There is a
difficulty in securing all the strictly fresh
nearby eggs that are wanted. and markets are
firm at outside rates.
