MONDAY, March 30. :

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Monday is usually an of day in this line. The
boom in eggs has spent its force, and while
prices are nominally the same as at the close OF
last week, demand is falling off and a decline
is looked for by dealers. A few mild days will.
without doubt, bring prices down to l5c per
dozen and possibly lower. They are now down
to lac in Tennessee, whence there have been
large shipments of late. The stock of old
creamery butter is well cleaned up here and
everywhere, and the supply of new Is scarcely
up to demand and likely to continue so for a
few weeks more. Potatoes are in short supply
and outside quotations are the rule for good
stock.
