COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-
At the Monday sales of creamery butter at
Elgin an advance of 1c per pound was
maintained The rise will be due here on.
Friday. So far markets here are quiet,
both for creamery and country butter.
All along country produce lines markets
are slow since Thanksgiving. Poultry is
particularly slow. Receipts of Florida
oranges are very heavy of late and
prices have found still lower level, as our
quotations will disclose. Fancy lemons
and choice bananas are very firm at prices
quoted. Vegetables are weak and slow.
Potatoes, cabbage and turnips are in bounti-
full supply and markets are in favor of the
buyer. Strictly fresh eggs are in very scant
supply and the few offered are promptly
taken at outside quotations. Cold storage
stock is in fair demand at our quotations.
Cheese continues firm at quotations.
