OFFICE OF PITTsBURG DISPATCH.
THURSDAY, Jan. y.


Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
The cheese market is very firm and prospects
are for higher prices. Prices here are already
relatively lower than anywhere in the land for
the reason that our jobbers have been carrying
very heavy stocks. New York markets have
been wild for the past few days, and prices
there are about the same as here. Choice
creamery butter Is firm at quotations, but coun-
try butter is very slow and prices are only nom-
inal. Strictly fresh nearby eggs are firm.
Southern and Western eggs are coming in
freely and markets are quiet. Supply of poul-
try is in excess of demand, and markets are
weak at inside figures. Commission merchants
report slow trade all u-ulong the line with the
situation in favor of the buyer.
