Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Cheese and butter are firm at slight ad-
vance on prices of a week ago. Choice eggs
also show an upward drift In all these lines
markets show an improved tone over last Sat-
urday. Potatoes, too are in better demand
and stock here is better cleaned up than 1t has
been for many weeks. The supply of common
apples is above demand, but fancy stock finds
ready sale at outside rates. Melons and sweet
pctaroes are coming in freely and prices are
weakening. California fruits are slow because of
the home article coming to the front SO freely.
Georgia melons have reached their end and
those now coming to market are principally
from Indiana and other Western States In
the tropical fruit line lemons are strongest,
fancy being held at s6 50@7 90. Home fruits
have been in such good supply the past two or
three days that fruit from the tropics has been
forced to the rear.
