COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing Prices
Strawberries from Tennessee are beginning
to arrive, and prices are reduced, as our
quotations will disclose. Eggs are firm and
poultry is quiet. Both creamery and coun-
try butter are in bountiful supply and tend
ency of markets is downward. New vegeta-
bles are coming in freely, and markets are
slow. Old potatoes are quiet at the same
old prices as have ruled all the season. Re-
ceipts of bananas have been unusually large
this week, one firm having received already
13 carloads and as many more are on the
way. Notwithstanding large receipts, choice
stock holds up fairly well in price. Common
and low grades are dull and heavy at inside
quotations.
