TUESDAY, Jan. 90
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
The supply of eggs has been in excess of de-
mand for the past day or two, and markets are
lower. Our quotations are reduced in accord
ance with actual sales. Some dealers report
top price of eggs at &c and others &c. The
certain fact is that eggs are coming in freely
from all directions and markets are slow at
decline. Creamery butter is shade weaker
and country butter goes begging for customers,
with prices nominal for all but fancy rolls
Cheese Is very firm, with promise of going
higher. In tropical fruit lines bananas are re-
ported scarce and firm. Lemons are also firm,
with an upward tendency. All Messina fruits
are very firm. Commission merchants report
general produce trade dull and slow. There
are as yet no signs of a recovery from the dull
ness which followed the holiday trade.
