Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Trade during the first half of the week has
been very active, making up tor lost time OF
last week, caused by the snow blockade. All
commission men report strong demand for
everything in produce lines. Supply of poultry
Is scarcely up to demand, and turkeys nave
been advanced. Shippers of turkey have large
faith in Pittsburg's Christmas capacity but
this season their faith has not been equal to
the situation, and all offerings were eagerly
taken at much higher prices than prevailed at
Thanksgiving. 1t is not often that stock of
turkeys is SO well cleaned up at the commits
sion houses as to-day. Supply of Western eggs
exceeds demand and markets are weak. Choice
potatoes and apples are very firm at outside
quotations.
