FRIDAY, May 4


Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Fridays trade proved the best of the week
as reported by com mission men. Fresh nearby
| eggs are firm at outside quotations, and, alas
| for the weakness Of human nature. not few
| that were laid many hundreds Of miles away
| are sold for nearby: stock. Country butter and
Ohio creamery are coming In freely, and mar.
kets give signs of weakness. Demand for cream.
cry butter has very much declined of late, for
the good reason that country towns can now
secure supplies nearer home. A drop In prices
will likely come before many days. Supply of
Ohio cheese is very far short OF demand. A
leading dealer reported that he could have
easily disposed Of i've times as much cheese
this week as we were able to secure. Supply of
poultry Is light and demand Is ditto. Straw
berries are moving freely at quotations.
