COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-Sup-
ply of nearby eggs is barely sufficient for de-
| mand, and markets are firm at quotations.
Southern stock is in full supply and quiet at
1c per dozen below nearby stock. Our quota
tions on creamery butter are reduced 1c per
pound, and prospects are for still further
and larger reductions in the near future.
Country butter is q drug on the market, and
grades below choice are hard to sell at any
price. Within half O hundred miles of Pitts
burg country butter of good quality is sell
ing at 10c per pound and less. A communi-
cation from near Newcomerstown, o., was
shown by q commission man to-day which
proffered to furnish fresh eggs If good coun-
try butter would be taken at 7c per pound.
1t is scarcely within the memory of the old
est dealer when Ohio cheese was so scarce in
our markets at this time of the year. The
supply of strawberries, though not exces-
sive, Is up to demand, and large arrivals are
expected for tomorrow.
