COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing prices
The stock of creamery butter on the market
is not in supply equal to demand, and job
bers report inability to fill orders for choice
grades. Prices have already advanced &c
per pound this week, and prospects are
good for another rise New York cheese is
very firm and Ohio is steady. Strictly
fresh eggs are not easy to be had and mar
kets are strong. In fruit lines grapes have
the lead. Receipts are heavy and demand
good. Though the arrivals for the week
have been close to dozen carloads daily,
there are no signs OF glut. Peaches have
been in more liberal supply for day or two
past than for q week previous and the move
ment is slow. Full supplies we're generally
laid up for the winter last month, and,
therefore, the quietness of markets. Trop-
ical fruits are steadily on the gain. Bananas
are on the advance, as our quotations will
reveal. Jamaica pineapples of excellent
quality are now on the market. The upward
movement, of lemons has come to stand
still through the influence of the cool wave.
