FRIDAY. August 22. 1890. !

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Usually Friday is the pest day of the week in
produce lines. But to-day's trade was disap-
pointment to commission men. Water melons
are In over-supply and prices are weak. Quality
and size are all that could be desired. There
is a short supply Of choice apples and potatoes,
and markets are firm for good stock. Toma-
toes are plenty and slow. Grapes are in good
supply and quality of receipts improves. The
first Niagara grapes of the season have ap-
peared within a day or two, and are good stock
at 81 OO01 rs a basket. Eggs and poultry are
firm at a shade better prices than have pre-
vailed for few days past. In single cases
choice nearby eggs sold this morning at Zoe per
dozen. Ohio cheese is very firm at quotations
and likely to 60 higher. Fancy creamery
brings the outside price, but the cash buyer
who has paid more than 26c for job lots has
paid more than the market price. The price
up to this morning was 25c per b, and Is now &c
per h.
