PROVISIONS ACTIVE AND HIGHER
OFFICE OF THE DISPATCH,


COUNTRY PRoDuoE-Jobbing prioes-supply
of creamery butter is still in excess Of de-
mand, and prices are again reduced, as our
quotations will disclose. The eagerness to
unload induced some dealers to sell on
Saturday at even lower prices than our re-
duced quotations. Country butter is not so
plentiful as it was week ago, but markets
are quiet.
Eggs are firm at prices quoted, and 1t is
evident that the lowest prices of the season
are past, as cold storage firms are gathe ring
up stock freely at present rates. Poultry Is
in moderate supply, but prices fail to ad-
vance.
Bananas and pineapples are in larger sup
ply than at any time this season. and drift
of prices is toward lower level.
