Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Our quotations on Elgin creamery butter are
reduced in accordance with the decline at
headquarters the beginning of the week. Deal
ers in fancy brands report prices shade above
our figures. Supply of eggs at last exceeds
demand, and prices are dropping. Our quota
tions are reduced, and probabilities are that
there will be daily reductions for the week to
come If pleasant, mild weather continues.
Southern stock sold to-day at l6c, and nearby
at l7c per dozen. AS the supply of new vegeta-
bles from the South increases old stock grows
more quiet. Even potatoes, which have been
active and firm for weeks past are somewhat
quiet this week. Prices, however. are main-
tanned. Cabbage is dull, and onions are scarce
and firm.
