OFFICE OF PITTsBURG DISPATCH.
TUESDAY, April Il. s'
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
The egg market is firm and prices are 10
higher per dozen Tuesday than Monday. The
faith that bottom prices have been reached has
led dealers to store away large Quantities for
the future trade. There is still great scarcity
of choice creamery butter in this market. At
the regular Monday meeting of the Elgin
board prices of last week were reafirmed.
Markets at Elgin were active and strong. Coun-
try butter keeps coming in freely, and demand
is improving because of the limited supply of
creamery. In vegetable lines, cabbage is COM
ing in freely from the South and prices tend
lower. Other Southern vegetables are steady.
Supply of poultry is not up to demand. and
markets are very strong.
