Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
The cold wave has put quietus on trade for
the time being. Commission men were found
doing their best to keep warm as the run of gas
along Liberty street was very light. Eggs are
firmer since the arrival of the cold wave, but
there has been no advance in prices. Sales are
principally at 24e for fresh stock, with single
cases up to Csc per dozen. AT these prices de-
mand is active. Creamery butter. as well as
country, is quiet and inside quotations rule.
Poultry is scarce and demand exceeds supply
for day or two past. The low prices and warm
weather of late have had the effect of curtail-
ing supplies, until now markets are nearly
bare. Geese are very dull and slow. Vegeta-
bles of all kinds are quiet. but prices remain as
already quoted.
