Country Produce-Jobbing prices-The
lull which follows holiday booms is here
and trade is dull all along the line. The
supply of poultry and game exceeds de-
mand of late. and the weather being un-
favorable to the preservation of offerings
markets are weak and lower.
Creamery butter is weak and slow, and
markets are shade lower than they. were a
| week ago. Eggs that are strictly fresh are
scarce, but prices are scarcely as strong as
they have been for a week or two past.
Storage stock is lower under the influence
of the mild weather.
There has been q free movement of tropi-
cal fruits for the past few days, and prices
are firm. Florida oranges and choice han
anas are firm at a shade higher prices than
prevailed in the early part Of the week.
