PITTsBURG, TUESDAY, February l6. (
COUNTRY PRoDUCE-(Jobbing prices)-
The egg market is weak and prices are once
more reduced, as our quotations will dis
close. JOB lot sales are reported shade
below the revised quotations. AT the Mon
day auction sales at Elg1n, creamery butter
was reduced 1c per pound The decline will
go into effect here the latter part of the
week. Under the influence of cold weather
tropical fruits are dull and slow, and lemons
are lower. Fancy Malaga grapes are scarcely
to be had in this market Such would read
lily bring $l2 per half barrel The quietness
of vegetable markets reported all the season
gives no signs OF letting up. Potatoes are
barely steady, and all else in the vegetable
line is very slow. Cabbage brings very little
above cost of transportation.
