SATURDAY, Jan. IL.
Country Produce-JobbingP Prices.


The situation in this line remains as for sew
eral days past, quiet. Prices are un-
changed. but markets are very slow.
Supply of potatoes and other vegetables Is in
excess of demand, and the situation is favor
able to the cash buyer. Since apples have ad-
vanced to the price of tropical fruit demand
has lessened. Cheese and choice creamery
butter are firm at quotations. Country butter
is dull, outside of fancy stock. The supply of
fresh eggs has improved of late and prices are
well maintained. Nearby stock is very scarce.
