COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing Prices
The supply of fresh eggs in this market is
| light, and prices are shade higher than at
the close of last week. Sales of single cases
| were reported at 16c. Creamery butter of
choice grade is fairly steady, but all below
| choice is dull and slow at quotations Coun-
| try butter is heavy stock at prices quoted.
| Supply of choice strawberries is not up to
demand, and markets are strong and active
| for this grade, while common and low grade
stock is hard to sell at any price. Poultry
is in very scant supply, and markets are
| active and firm. with tendency to higher
| prices. The first Mobile potatoes of the
! season will be due on Tuesday, and will sell
at Sc to Sc so per barrel. Tropical fruits are
active at shade better prices than pre-
vailed last week.
