Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
The feature of markets to-day was the heavy
supply of rabbits. Late SHOWS have furnished
fine opportunities for hunters. and commission
houses show results in heavy supplies of rao-
bits. Prices have dropped in response to big
run. Poultry is coming in freely, but demand
is quiet. The Christmas boom will not be due
till next week. Eggs are still firm at quota
tions, but the feeling of dealers is that top has
been reached. Southern eggs will. no doubt.
be on the market soon, and hence there is little
likelihood of any further advance. Potatoes
and apples of good quality are in short supply
and drift of market Is upward.
