COUNTRY PRoDUcE-Jobbing Prices
The supply of butter is in excess of demand,
and markets are weak and lower. Though
eggs are not coming in as freely of late as
for a month past, consumption has declined
and supply is equal to demand, with mar
kets steady. Poultry is in fair supply, and
prices are unchanged. Receipts of tropical
fruits for the week have been large, particu-
larly bananas and pineapples A Liberty
street commission firm reports receipts of
&c carloads of bananas for the week. Choice
stock holds up we'll, but common grades and
overripe stock arc slow at prices quoted.
Supply of new vegetables from the South is
on the increase and prices tend lower.
Quality of strawberries offered of late Is be-
low par. Few choice are offered.
