THURSDAY. July 81. 1890.
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
There are no new developments in this line
since our last report. Tomatoes are still COM
ing in more freely than our markets call for,
and much Of the receipts is of poor Quality.
Potatoes of choice quality are scarce and
firmerA About the only article in the berry
line In good supply is the huckleberry. Grapes
are coming In freely and prices tend toward q
lower level. Apples are in fair supply, but
there is little choice stock in the offerings
Tropical fruits are IN active demand. Recent
hot weather has stimulated lemon markets,
but prices are essentially unchanged. Cream
cry butter of high grade is higher and very firm
at the advance. Country butter is slow, as it
has been for some weeks past and only the
very best finds a ready market. Cheese makers
are disposed to withhold stock in the faith and
hope Of better prices. Eggs are quiet atquota-
Fruit Inspector Kilgore to-day condemned 800
watermelons TO the garbage pile. These melons
were from the far South and had lost prestige
in the transit.
