WEDNESDAY, September 4, 1888.
Country FREDERICKSBURG Prices.
The opportunity for cheap peaches has, ap-
parently gone by. The home crop is practi-
cally a failure, and Delaware has about all it
can do to meet demand from Eastern markets.
Watermelons are scarce and firm. Cantaloups
are dull sweet potatoes steady. Apples find
hard roads to travel at this season, when other
fruits are abundant. Elgin creamery was very
irm at headquarters on Mondays sales. Thirty
three thousand pounds of standard brands were
sold promptly at 1sc. which would bring their
native cost at Pittsburg close up to 20c. Supply
of choice Ohio creamery butter is not up to de-
mand. A leading jobber reports that he has
not been able to fill all orders for day or two
past Eggs are steady at quotations, and
choice article OF hen fruit does not need to 60
begging. Cheesemakers are holding stock in
expectation of an advance Buyers are trying
to bring manufacturers to old rates, and it is
now simply question as to which side has the
best wind. The drought in cheese-producing
sections the past few weeks is in favor of higher
prices. But time can only tell the result of the
conflict between manufacturers and dealers.
Prospects for higher-prlced cider are good, in
view of short apple crop. Domestic Sweltzer
cheese is stronger and higher in the West, but
unchanged here.
