Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Demand for new potatoes is fully up to sup
ply and markets were well cleaned up at noon
to-day A Liberty street commission man, who
makes potatoes q speciality, reported this morn
ing that his sales this week ranged from two to
three carloads daily. and that he could have
sold carload to-day more than he had on
hand Prices are unchanged. Cabbage is COM
ing in more freely and markets are easier.
Berries were plenty to-day, but choice stock
was In good deman d. There were no signs of a
glut except in the line of inferior and over
ripe fru It. Lemons and oranges are on the ad-
vance. The yield of the latter is reported be-
low average. Certain it is that receipts Of late
at the seaports have been unusually light for
the time of year. Choice bananas are holding
their own. but here is any amount of inferior
stock on the market which peddlers are buying
up at their own price and retailing at very low
figures. California fruits of splendid quality
promise to be In large supply next week. Elgin
creamery butter is advanced 1c per pound. as
quotations will disclose.
