Country Produce-JobbiDg Prices.
Fresh eggs are a shade lower, owing to large
receipts from the South. Nearby stock is in
short supply. Potatoes and apples are firm at
quotations, notwithstanding they have reached
the highest point for many years. The supply
OF poultry is fair and demand is active for all
that comes. There are plenty of turkeys point
ing in this direction. and travelling as fast as
steam will bring them, but no fears of a glut
are cherished by dealers. 1t is very rare that
the Christmas turkey trade is overdone in
Pittsburg. With continuance of present
weather there will be good demand for all
offered. In general produce lines Mondays
showing has been better than usual. The
quietness which prevailed during the snow
blockade has given place to activity, and from
now till Christmas there will, no doubt, be
free movement for all things IN produce lines.
