OFFICE OF PIrTsBURG DISPATCH,
SATURDAY. May 18. !
COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices s)-Satur-
day was cold day at the commission houses.
The weather seems to have given chill TO
trade. Advices from New York indicate
lower priced butter and eggs there than
here. The New York Commercial Bulletin of
the 18th quotes top price Of eggs l6Ac, and
Elgin creamery at &c. Here and Westward
eggs are firm, and, while creamery butter is
weak and declining, it would be impossible
to sell at 22c without heavy loss, as the best
brands were sold at Elgin this week above
that figure. The heavy receipts OF coun-
try butter of late have proved adverse
to creamery, and dealers who have the
least of the latter on hand are best of. Our
markets have been glutted with country
butter all this week and prices are only
nominal There has been no time since new
Ohio cheese appeared that supply mas Deen
half up to demand. A dealer VINO reports
sales Of 100 boxes daily, reports he could
have sold as many more for few days past II
he could;have obtained the goods. supply OF
strawberries was not up to expectations ana
prices advanced.
