COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing prices
Eggs have declined &c per dozen in New
York in the past day or two, and markets
are weaker here. New York prices to-day
are the same as Pittsburg. Ohio creamery
butter is not coming to the front in the best
shape, and what comes is a drug. Choice
Elgin creamery is fairly steady. Poultry
is unusually scarce and prices are looking
up. Strawberries are coming to the front
in larger supply than our trade calls for,
and markets are weak and slow, with an in
clination downward. Tropical fruits con-
tinue in active demand, and receipts being
much lighter this week than last, markets
are firmer
