SATURDAY, April Is.
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Contrary to general expectations the egg
market is bare and prices are firmer than they
were at the beginning of the week. In single
case lots our outside quotations are the rule
and some dealers report sales shade higher.
Country butter continues to come in freely
and markets are weak. Choice creamery but
ter is in light supply and prices are firm The
stock of old cheese is practically cleaned up
and the new is just beginning to show up. The
first Ohio cheese of the season will be to the
front in the beginning of the week. So-called
new cheese has been offered for few days
past, but the largest charity would NOT pro-
nounce it good for much Maple syrup, which
has been drug in our markets all this season,
has grown irmer the past week. For pure
stock outside quotations rule.
