COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing Prices-Eggs
have lost a little of their firmness, and top
price in job lots is now 1s11c per dozen. Sup
ply of Ohio and New York cheese has more
than caught up to demand, and markets are
quiet. Choice grades of Elgin creamery are
firm, while common grades of creamery and
country rolls are still weak and slow. De
mand for lemons has improved of late, and
advices from New York show an advance
there of Soc per box. Bananas and oranges
are unchanged. Ohio cherries are coming
in freely the past day or two. The Baltimore
and Ohio Express, having been delayed
about six hours this morning, large guam
tfty of strawberries were thrown onto mar
kets after the regular time for morning
sales. As a result, lower prices prevailed,
and a good quality of berries vas sold under
10c per box: Poultry is in much better sup
ply than it has been of late andour quota
tions are reduced to meet the facts.
