FRIDAY. June IL, 1890. ]
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
A good Friday Is reported by jobbers in this
department. In front of the Liberty street
produce houses were unusual signs of activity
from early morn well up to noon. Supply Of
choice Strawberries was hardly equal to de-
mand. Homegrown varieties never came to
this market in better shape than those now
coming Old potatoes are practically at an end
for this season. Choice new stock is steady.
Ohio cheese is coming in plentifully and prices
are lower. Swiss cheeses are very scarce, sup
ply not being up to demand, and markets are
very strong. In ordinary seasons the decline
comes two weeks before this time, but there
are no signs of a decline as yet. Eggs are
steady at quotations for guaranteed stock. In
tropical fruit lines, bananas are weakest. Sup
ply is above demand and prices incline to go
lower. Oranges and lemons, on the other hand,
are very firm and tending higher. California
peaches and aprieots begin to come in freely.
and quality is superb.
