Pittsburg Produce Market.
PrTTsBURG, May 19-The egg market
is steady at prices quoted; receipts con
tinue light, and No. 1 fresh stock appears
to be held with more confidence. Butter
continues dull with a supply in excess OF
present wants. Cheese continues in scant
supply, and the fine stock is firm at the
prices quoted. The production continues
light for the season, which may be attrib-
uted to the backwardness of the weather
as well as the high price for COW feed. Po-
tatoes continue in very fair request, and
choice command full prices. The cold
weather makes slow market for yegeta-
bles AID tropical fruits.
