Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
The supply of choice creamery butter and
new cheese falls far below demand. The fol-
lowing from a leading manufacturer Of cheese
on the Western Reserve to one of our leading
dealers will explain the scarcity Of new cheese:
II have lust returned from a weeks trip among
the factories. My factories are later starting
than usual this year, because the cows are later
fresh. Then after getting started the supply of
milk is very light owing to the very high price
of feed. At the high price Of feed the farmers
cannot afford to grain their cows, so the cows
do not milk as WELL" The egg market is not
SO strong as it has been for few days past.
Advices from Chicago indicate a short supply
and stronger markets. General produce trade
