MONDAY. Nov 20

COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-
The usual Mondays quiet is reported by
commission men. The quiet is more in
tense than usual, as result of a reaction
from Thanksgiving activity. The lull
which uniformly intervenes between the
Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays is
here. Dairy products, poultry and eggs are
all reported slow. Country butter is in
bountiful supply and slow demand. Oleo
is selling at about the same price as the or
binary grades of country butter and the
former seems to be preferred by the average
consumer. Butter that is not the best is not
wanted. The only dairy product that holds
up well in price is cheese. Fall prints and
vegetables are still dull and slow. Irish
and sweet potatoes are heavy stock at prices
quoted. There has been plethora of Flor
ida oranges in our markets of late. and
prices have steadily declined until, accord
ing to the general view OF dealers, hard pan
has been reached.
