COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing Prices
Elgin creamery butter was advanced 1c per
pound at source of supply on Monday.
The advance will be due here the latter part
OF the week. There is an improved demand
for country butter the past few days, quail
lty OF offerings having advanced under the
influence of cold weather. New York
cheese is steady at quotations. To the
dealer who Is not stocked up there is no
margin at present quotations. Fortunately
for Pittsburg jobbers, they are well sup
piled at prices which prevailed q month
ago. New York cheese can now be bought
in Pittsburg at lower prices than can be
obtained at sources of supply. Cold
weather has stiffened prices OF fresh eggs,
and our figures are advanced in accordance
with sales reported. At the advance there
are not enough to meet demand. Tropical
fruits are dull and slow. Potatoes are NOV
ing more freely.
