TUESDAY, Jan. q. !
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Elgin creamery butter is shade weaker at
headquarters. Country butter still drags, and
prices are nominal. Only fancy rolls are in de-
mand. Fresh nearby eggs begin to come in
more freely under the influence of mild weather.
but prices are we'll maintained. Poultry is not
so plenty as it has been for few weeks past.
We are now having the lull which ordinarily
follows glut. Markets are still quiet. Supply
of potatoes is fully up to demand, and job lots
are slow at outside quotations. Demand for
apples is light owing to high prices. When ap-
Piles and oranges are close together in price. as
they have been of late, the average consumer
prefers the latter. Customers for apples have
been reduced fully so per cent this season as
compared with the ordinary seasons when this
staple fruit is abundant. Lemons are scarce
and firm. Bananas are coming more freely to
market than of late, and prices are not SO firm
as they have been.
