people are fond Of water.nelons and the
supply Of that fruit was exceedingly
large, but the supply did not exceed the
demand, and prices were somewhat
higher than for the past three or four
days. Peaches were plentiful and OF
good quality. Prices ranged from 30
cents to $l.25 per basket, with plenty Of
buyers. The prices Of other fruits and
vegetables did not fuct uate, but ,emain-
ed about the same as on Wednesday last.
