COUNTRY PRODUCE Jobbing Prices y
There is no longer scarcity of creamery
butter in the market, as there has been for
week or two past. Demand has decreased
since prices went above SOC per pound, and
markets show dropping tendencies the past
few days. Fancy country butter is firm at
higher prices. Pittsburg egg markets have
been relatively below New York markets
for week past. New York cheese is NOV
ing freely and prices are firm for good
stock. Grapes are near their end and prices
are weak. Bananas are coming to our
markets in a chilled condition and prices
are nominal. The nut season is now at its
best, giving evidence that Halloween is at
hand. Potatoes and poultry are in abundant
supply and quiet at quotations.
