OFFICE OF PITTsBURG DISPATCH,
TUESDAY, April Z.

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Country butter is coming in more freely than
any time this season, and creamery gives signs
Of weakness. Lower markets in both lines are
looked for by dealers before the week is out
There is a variety of views as to value Of eggs
Some dealers report l9c as top Of markets and
others 2lc. Southern eggs are selling at l9c per
dozen and nearby stock at 20c. Supply Is no
more than up to demand. Maple syrup is COM
ing in as freely as ever and prices are weak.
Simon pure syrup Is largely in the minority.
There is a great scarcity of onions in our mar
kets and prices have taken sharp upward
turn, as our quotations will reveal. Poultry,
both live and dressed, is very scarce and very
firm at quotations.
