COUNTRY PRoDUcE-Jobbing prices
Country butter is in supply beyond demand
and all under fancy grades is o drug on the
market. Creamery butter is also dull and
slow; and an advance of 1c per pound at
Elgin proved failure so far as Pittburg
markets were concerned. Fresh-laid eggs
are scarcely quotable quantity in this
market. Storage eggs are relatively lower
here than in Western cities. ST. Louis is
usually Sc to sc per dozen below Pittsburg
markets, and yet prices OF choice storage
stock there is now 23c per dozen, almost the
same as here Potatoes are still IN bountl-
full supply and markets are Slow Poultry
has dragged since Thanksgiving. The same
is true of game. Prices in both lines are
lower and markets weak at the decline.
