TUESDAY, May la 1890
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Heavy rains all over the country have kept
back stuff, and trade is quiet Strawberries
are in very short supply, but the remedy Is
travelling this way as fast as steam power WILL
bring it, and full supplies are expected py To-
morrow. Cabbage from the South is coming In
freely and prices are weakening. Potatoes OF
choice quality are firm. Markets have been
glutted with poor stock for a few weeks past,
but this is now well cleaned up. Eastern mar
kets are frmer, and there is q strong undertone
OF confidence in the future of the trade here
String beans are scarce and firm. Elg1n cream
cry butter is not SO firm as it has been for the
week past. Choice nearby eggs are very active
at outside quotations. A Liberty street jobber
said to-day: II sold out all my stock at l2Hc
per dozen, and could have sold as much more
if had had it to SELL An Allegheny huckster
gave me an order for all nearby stock could
lay my hands on at this figure"
