Produce commission men report trade cool
and weather hot. Tropical fruits and hen fruit
are the only articles in produce lines that hold
up well In price. Old Ohio cheese has finished
its career tor this season. and New York will
soon follow. Bottom is almost out of butter
trade, owing to immense supplies from the
country. There has been fall of fully &c from
last weeks prices, and stock goes begging at
the reduction, according to reports Of some
dealers. The hot weather of the past few
days. together with the fact of light arrivals in
New York, has given decided stimulus to the
lemon and orange trade. Sleeper prices in
both lines cannot be far away. Strawberries
were in excessive supply at the beginning OF
the week, but have been scarce for the past
few days. Shippers were disappointed with
prices the fore part of the week and since then
have been Withholding stock from this point;
A carload from Tennessee is due this evening;
there will probably be plenty tomorrow.
