WEDNESDAY. June IL, 1890. !

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Supplies of seasonable stuff were unusually
large to-day, and, despite good demand, both
on local and shipping account the general tone
of the market was easy. New potatoes were
off little from previous quotations, and so
also were old potatoes, for which the demand
has slackened materially in consequences of the
abundance and low prices of new stock. New
beans and peas also touched a lower range and
Tuesdays outside prices on Strawberries were
not maintained, the bulk of the supply being
Eastern stock in poor condition. A few lots of
home-raised berries sold readily at l2@13c.
Butter was steady, with better undertone.
Cheese was in active request particularly new
Sweitzer. which Is not coming forward In suf-
ficient quantities to keep pace with the de-
mand A consignment of 500 pounds was
grabbed up at quotations this morning almost
as soon as placed on the market. Eggs were
firm and higher, with the demand confined al
most entirely to nearby stock; Southern and
Western not wanted. Fruits of all kIcds con-
tinued to show an upward tendency under the
lead OF lemons. Cabbage, tomatoes, cucum-
bers, ETC., were barely steady at the prices
named.
