Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
February wound up its career in storm, but
trade was quiet in lines of country produce
Usually the short month is the dul month OF
the year. and there is no exception to the rule
this year. Commission merchants all report
slow trade for the past few weeks. The recent
cold wave has checked the downward move
ment of eggs and markets are firm at outside
quotations. There will, no doubt. be plenty in
the market and lower prices in the next few
days. Advices from the West point to higher
prices for creamery butter the coming week.
The stock of choice grades of cheese is very
light in the hands Of jobbers and an advance is
looked for at an early day. Tropical fruits
show an upward tendency the past lew days.
Oranges and lemons are shade higher. All
things in the vegetable line go slow, with the
exception of potatoes. which are active and
firm.
