OFFICE OF PITTsBURG DISPATCH, I
WEDNESDAY. July 30. 1890. +
country produce-JobbIng Prices.


The leading feature of markets to-day was
the glut of tomatoes. Owing to delay of Adams
Express trains, a large lot of Southern stuff
was behind time, and commission men re-
ceived their goods after customers had gone
home. The delay entailed heavy losses on the
shipper and very sorely tried the patience Of
the commission merchant. Potatoes are scarce
and higher. Melons are in good supply and
markets are easier. Cabbage is dull, owing to
liberal receipts. Supply of berries is light and
demand corresponds. Poultry is slow at quota
tions. Eggs are in better supply and markets
are weak at a shade lower prices. Choice
nearby stock is still scarce. The creamery but
ter drift is upward and there is little doubt
that prices will be advanced before the week is
out. The upward movement of creamery butt
ter has brought to our market large quantities
from beyond the Mississippi within a few days,
and, in the view of dealers here, this will serve
as check to the advance. Cheese makers are
firm in their views of values, and there is a
hope of better markets
