THURSDAY, April %.


Country Produce-JoDbingP Prices.
Eggs are still firm at quotations. Markets
here are the sa me as in New York, whereas
they are generally 1c per dozen lower. Supply
of good creamery butter is not nearly equal to
demand. Jobbers report that 1t is out of the
question to fill orders. Country roll butter is
IN bountiful supply and light demand at prices
quoted. Tropical fruits show an upward tend
ency all along the line. Lemons and bananas
are particularly firm. The crop of pIneapples
this season is unusually largo and quality of
offerings is very fine. In vegetable lines there
are no changes since our last report. New
cabbage is plenty and is tending lower. Seed
onions and potatoes are very firm at quota
tions. II is next to impossible to supply de-
mand for choice in either line, though price is
higher than for years.
