| MONDAY. Dec. I.
COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing prices
Monday is uniformly aquiet day in thisline,
and this Monday proved no exception to the
rule Supply of country butter still ex-
ceeds demand and markets show a down.
ward tendency. Choice creamery is steady
and cheese is firm at prices quoted. Fresh
laid eggs are in very short supply, and all
that come are promptly taken at outside
quotations. Receipts of potatoes are heavy
and markets weak. On track the outside
price is Zoe per bushel. and only the very
best bring this price. Florida oranges con-
tinue to come in freely. and markets are in
favor of the buyer. Bananas and lemons
are in good supply, but choice stock readily
sells at prices quoted. Poultry and game
are coming in freely, more SO than our
markets have capacity to absorb, and AS u
result drift of prices is downward.
