COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing Prices
Maryland strawberries are coming freely to
the front, and markets are on the decline.
Tropical fruits are steady at prices quoted.
Bananas are bringing much better prices
this week than last, owing to diminished
receipts. The supply of country butter e1-
| ceeds demand, and markets are very slug
gish. Ohio creamery is also dull, and
choice Elgin is no more than steady. New
| cheese is coming in freely, and quality of
offerings shows a steady gain. Old cheese
is practically a thing of the past. Eggs are
in light supply, but consumption is also
light. Markets are firm. Poultry is a
scarce quantity in our market, but there
appears to be sufficient for all demands.
Consumers seem unwilling to pay the price.
