Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Trade Is quiet all along the line, but prices
are maintained. The holiday rush IS uniformly
followed by lull, and the reaction this season
has been more decided than usual because of
stringent money market. Markets are well
supplied with potatoes. and. while demand is
hight, prices are firm at sources of supply, and
choice stock is steady. Demand for poultry is
we'll up to supply. In the line of dairy prod
ucts, cheese is the strong factor. Choice cream
cry butter is firm. and country rolls are slow If
not strictly fancy. Oleo is preferred by the
average consumer to tolerably good butter
Eggs are fairly steady. Strictly fresh nearby
stock is scarce in the market and readily
brings outside quotations.
