'roduce-Jobbing Prices.

| Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Eggs are moving downward about as fast as
| they moved up week ago. There have been
very heavy receipts i'll the past day or two, but
the capacity of our city to absorb large lots in
Easter time IS well known. 1t remains to be
seen whether or not the faith of shippers in our
Easter capacity has been too great. Markets
are &c per dozen below the highest point reached
a week ago. The stock of creamery butter in
the hands of dealers is light, and prices are
steady. Potatoes are scarce and firm at the
recent advance. The supply Of maple syrup is
in excess of demand, and there is not little
cutting on quotations. Pure OHIO syrup Of
highest grade is dull and slow at 90c per gal
lon. Dressed poultry is very scarce. New
vegetables from the South are coming in freely
and prices are tending lower.
