Country Produce.
Labor has taken precedence of trade to-day
and markets are generally quiet Stuff is
plenty. and prices of melons, sweet potatoes
and apples are lower. Receipts of apples have
been very large for day or two past The
supply is mostly from Kentucky, where there
is good crop this season. Potatoes are also in
abundant supply, and markets are not as strong
as they were week ago. One dealer reports
top price at So per barrel. New Jersey is the
principal source of supply for potatoes Sweet
potatoes are particularly slow. Prices of choice
dairy products are well maintained at the re-
cent advance Retail dealers accept grace
fully the rise. with little murmuring Our
quotations are slightly advanced on both New
York and Ohio cheese, in accordance with the
facts. Western eggs are steady at Zoe per dozen,
and nearby stock at 2lc. Some dealers predict
reaction and lower prices before long, as the
time is at hand when hens get in their fall
work.
