Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
The supply of eggs has caught up to demand,
but there is no excess and prices are fairly
steady. The faith of shippers in Pittsburg's
capacity for eggs has been large this week pre-
ceding Easter and while prices have dropped
since the beginning of the week about &C per
dozen, there is good demand for all offered a
the reduced rates, and stocks are well cleaned
up. Creamery butter is firm at quotations.
Potatoes are IN good demand, and good stock
readily brings outside quotations. Maple syrup
is dull and slow, and inside quotations rule.
Tropical fruits are fairly steady at old rates.
