large amount OF Eastern and Southern
products have been blockaded by the floods,
and receipts are unusually light. At this sea-
son of the year the Eastern shore Of Maryland
is a leading source of supply for our produce
markets. All stuff that comes from the East
has been delayed. A leading produce commits
sion merchant said to-day: II have six cars OF
tropical fruit on the way which should have
been here two or three days ago. Immense
quantities of strawberries consigned to Pitts
burg are blockaded along the Potomac valley
at various points, and such places as Cumber-
land and other towns along the B. 60. are hav-
ing fine opportunities to secure their berries
cheap Eggs and butter are active at quota
tions. A Pittsburg firm shipped 26O boxes of
cheese to Johnstown Sunday and will send out
another lot to-day.
