Country Produce-Jobbins Prices.
Creamery butter IS unusually scare in this
market, SO scarce that jObbers are not able to
fill orders There Is general expectation OF an
advance next week. Country butter, on the
other hand is plenty and lower. Old cheese IS
pretty we'll cleaned up, and new is not coming
in freely enough to meet demand. Eggs are In
limited supply, and are very firm at prices
quoted. Supply of home-raised vegetables;
though larger than any time this season, Is sun
not up to demand. Cabbage Is the only article
in vegetable lines that drags, and the reason IS
that large quantities of inferior goods from the
South are being dumped onto our markets OF
late. Tropical fruits of all kinds are active
ard firm, with tendency toward higher prices.
Lemons sure to go higher.
