OFFICE OF PITTsBURG DISPATCH,
FRIDAY, April 1O.
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Supply of eggs is more than enough for all
demands, and prices are steadily drifting lower.
Prospects are that eggs will sell at 1c apiece
early next week. Country butter is also com
ing IN more freely and prices are finding a lower
level, as our quotations will disclose. High
grade cheese both domestic and Swiss, is very
firm at quotations, firm enough to go up higher
before many days. Vegetables of all kinds are
quiet, with onions as the exception to the rule.
Potatoes are barely steady at old prices In
tropical fruit lines lemons are active and hrm
at the advance lately noted, while oranges and
bananas are quiet and slow. principally on ac-
count of low quality of offerings Poultry is
as it has been for week past, scarce and firm.
