COUNTRY PRoDUCE-(Jobbing prices)-
Our markets are unusually bare of choice
creamery butter, and the advance in prices
already noted is firmly held, with prospects
of still further advances before the week is
out. Country butter also shows an upward
inclination, and oleo is coming freely to the
front under the influence of higher priced
butter. Eggs are quiet at quotations To-
matoes, cucumbers, and, in fact, all garden
products are slow at declining prices owing
to excessive supplies. The same is true of
fruits and melons. Potatoes are in i'm
proved demand, owing to improvement in
quality. Choice Jersey potatoes are active
at 81 per barrel. Sweet potatoes are quiet
and prices are q shade lower than they were
at last report. Tropical fruits are slow and
dull, with lemons as the exception to the
rule. Peaches are so plentiful that there is
little demand for bananas.
