THURSDAY, Dec. 3.

COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-
Santa Claus goods appear to have the call at
this time, and other lines of trade suffer
more or less for this reason. Certain it is
that for some cause the trade in country
produce lines has been very quiet since
Thanksgiving. Dairy products are moving
very slowly, and the advance of 1c in Elgin
creamery butter has not been justified by
events. Demand declines as prices rise,
and it is almost all that jobbers can do to
secure last weeks prices. Sales at 33c per
pound are exceptional. Country butter is
drug, and only the choicest finds Gus
toners. Poultry and game are in bountiful
supply and markets are quiet with a gen.
eral drift toward lower prices. Florida
oranges have not been so dull for many
seasons as they are at present Bananas are
not so abundant as they have been of late,
and choice stock finds ready sale. at out
side prices. Fancy lemons and choice
Malaga grapes are also in active demand
and firm.
