Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
The egg market has been higher in Pittsburg
this week than any other place in the land.
At Cincinnati and st. Louis the top of the mar
ket has been 13 to l4c for a day or two past and
at Baltimore eggs are quoted at 15c. At New
York there is a Ice market and at Chicago a
l5c market. Here they are scarce and active
at 17c per dozen. Doubtless the high waters
have had something to do with high prices rs
many of our sources Of supply have been cut
off. Full supplies are on the way, and de-
cline is about certain before the week is out
New maple syrap is coming in freely and prices
are weakening. Prospects are for go Od yield
in this line. There is more inquiry for country
butter since creamery has advanced to such
high figures. Potatoes continue to move very
freely. and outside prices rule for choice stock.
