Markets are overstocked with Southern to-
matoes and the result is a general weakening of
prices. Chicago shippers who paid 81 to 81 ~
per crate and 40c expressage and sold here at
81 25. are not jubilant over the situation. The
movement of potatoes is active, but no advance
in prices is reported. Southern potatoes are
approaching their end for this season. and the
homegrown article Is expected at the front
next week. Cheese, butter and eggs are quiet.

the last day of the month. Customers are hold
ing off till tomorrow, so that they may have 30
days grace for payment of bills. Domestic
Sweitzer cheese is in good demand. The new
stock, which is now coming in freely, Is above
the average in quality. Good pasturage and
cool nights have been helpful to q ality of
cheese this season. 1t Is not the easiest thing
in the world to keep in line with vegetable
