COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing Prices
Yesterdays predictions have come true as
regards the egg market. Prices are adj
vanced 1c per dozen, and markets are very
active at the advance The advance this
week has been equal to Sc per dozen.
Dressed poultry is scarce and firm, with an
upward tendency to prices. Live poultry
is in fair supply and slow. Fancy Elgin
creamery is firm at the advance already
noted. Country rolls are in better request
than they have been for the past few weeks,
and markets are frmer. The banana trade
is demoralized, owing to heavy, receipts of
frosted stock, which sells at nominal prices.
The good suffers with the bad, the former
being forced to the rear by the exceedingly
low prices of frost-bitten stock. Oranges
are slow, and lemons active. Malaga grapes
are in good demand at an advance in prices.
