OFFICE OF PITTSBURG DISPATCH
THURSDAY, May 81 !
COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-The
supply of strictly fresh eggs is not up to de-
mand and markets are firm, with an upward
tendency. Prospects are for 20c egg mar
ket before MANY days, as advices from all
sections of the country indicate scarcity.
1t is hardly probable that butter can find
lower level this season. Good Ohio cream
cry sold to-day at 16c per pound, and good
country butter for whatever it would bring.
With such a sharp decline as we have this
week, probabilities are that q reaction will
come, and an advance movement be inaugu-
rated next week. The first arrival of South
ern potatoes was reported to-day. Florida
cabbage, which has had the run for u few
weeks past is now at an end, and Mobile has
become the chief source of supply. Demand
for the latter is active and prices are firm
Strawberries from Norfolk are in plentiful
supply, and prices arc the lowest OF the
season. Poultry is coming in freely, and
markets are barely steady.
