PrTTspuRG, SATURDAY, May IA.
COUNTRY PRopuoE-Jobbfng Prices-The
heavy downpour on Saturday morning
proved depressing to trade in this
department. Eggs are in limited sup
ply In this market, and stock Is
firmly held at a shade better prices than
were obtained for a day or two past The
supply OF low grade creamery butter Is
heavy and markets are very slow. Choice
grades are steady. The quality of new
cheese is gaining, but supplies are light.
Advices from Ohio cheesedom indicate that
cheese making this season is fully three
weeks behind the average time. Poultry is
unusually scarce and markets are firm.
Receipts OF tropical fruits are much below
what they we're last week, and tone Of mar
kets is much stronger. The supply of choice
strawberries is not equal to demand, but all
below choice is a drug. Large quantities OF
berries were on the market to-day which
were not wanted at any price.
