FRIDAY, April Il
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Eggs are a shade higher and very firm. A
large proportion of the arrivals in this line is
gathered in by storage companies. The tart If,
which keeps out Canada eggs, has, no doubt.
had its intended effect of keeping up price of
home stock this season. There is a great
scarcity of choice creamery butter in this mar
ket, and prices are firm. Receipts of new
cheese are SO light that prices are hardly quota
BILE. Old OHIO cheese is about done. There is
still fair supply of old New York cheese and
markets are firm at outside quotations POul-
try is in better supply than it has been for
few weeks past and prices are easier. Spring
chickens selling at Sc to S6 so per dozen, and
their dimensions make them expensive eating
at these prices. The quality of Southern vege-
tables coming to our market of late Is generally
low grade. Cabbage is very inferior as rule.
The long journey and warm weather together
have had the effect of bringing large quantity
of poor garden stuff to ohr market
