Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Choice creamery butter is in good demand.
but country butter is very slow. Since the new
construction of the oleo law by Pennsylvania
Supreme Court, retailers are generally taking
out licenses from the Government for the sale
of butter limitations. The result has been that
country butter, which has been depressed for
some m onrhs, is even more in the background
of late. Fresh nearby eggs are scarce and firm.
Fresh Western stock is active at &c, while
Southern eggs are slow at considerably lower
figures. Southern eggs coming to our markets
are by no means as satisfactory as those from
the West. Cheese has been sitter since the
opening of the year, for the reason that retail
ers, who permitted stocks to run down before
stock-taking time. are now buying more freely.
Late statistics show there are $4,000 less boxes
of cheese on hand in the United States than a
year ago. Against this falling off in this coun-
try stands the fact that there are $4,000 more
boxes OF American cheese in London markets
than there were year ago. onions are az,
vancing, and commission men look for S6
market before the week ID gone.
