FRIDAY, April & J
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
The weeks weather has been unfavorable to
trade. Country roads in this vicinity were
probably never worse than at the present time.
The stock of eggs in the market is light and
prices are well maintained. A few days of
good weather will bring plenty to the front,
and lower markets are almost certain In the
next few days. Creamery butter is in good de-
mand at the decline already noted. The de-
cline in the past week has been &c per pound,
and in two or three weeks about &c per pound.
Country butter begins to come in more freely,
and soon there will be an abundance. Cheese
of good quality is very scarce, and while prices
are unchanged. demand is active at outside
quotations. Swiss cheese is in particularly
light supply. The old stock Is about cleaned
out and the new will not be ripe before June.
Hence there is strong probability of an ad-
vance.
