FRIDAY, November II, 1890.


Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Fancy apples are tending upward. Choice
potatoes are good stock at present prices.
Prospects are that potatoes will soon 90 higher.
Nearby eggs are very scarce, and outside quota
tio1s are obtained without any trouble. There
is little doubt that the late advance in cream
cry butter has been largely due to speculative
influences. Manufacturers of oleo, 1t is thought,
have been booming butter, not entirely for
unselfish purposes. Poultry is over-plenty and
prices are weak. The grape crop is still abund-
ant and markets favor buyers. The same is
true of bananas. Another week will, no doubt
bring grapes near to their end for this season.
For the present markets are quiet, and all other
fruits will. no doubt go slow until the fruit OF
the vine is worked off.
