COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing Prices
There is great dearth of fancy creamery
butter in this market, ard outside quota
tions are easily obtained. Oleo is preferred
to common and low grade butter by the
average consumer. Strictly fresh eggs are
firm at shade higher prices. The late
frosts have very much stimulated prices of
fruits ana garden stuff. Potatoes are COM
ing in freely of late and markets are quiet.
The frosts have sent grapes upward and our
| quotations are advanced in accordance with
the facts. Peaches still linger, but demand
is light. Tropical fruits are on the gain as
home-raised fruits decline Lemons are
scarce and firm. New figs begin to put in
| an appearance, and Malaga lemons will be
due in few days The near approach of
| Halloween brings better demand for nuts.
