SATURDAY. June q. 1890. !
Country Fredericksburg Prices.
Markets were unusually bare of potatoes this
morning. Commission men were not able to
fill orders. One reason for this was the wreck
of freight train out the Panhandle road,
which kept stuff from coming to market. But
aside from this delay, demand has all the week
been fully up to supply. One dealer reports
sales of 1900 barrels for the week, and could
have sold $40 barrels more If he could have OBJ
tanned them. Strawberries were not SO plenty
to-day as they have been of late and prices are
q shade higher. The week closes with produce
unusually well cleaned up along Liberty street.
1t is not often that pavements are so bare in
front of the commission houses as they were at
noon to-day. The week has made a handsome
record in produce lines. Volume of trade has
been large. and good prices were obtained for
all choice stuff.
