COUNTRY PRoDUCE-( (Jobbing Prices)-
Markets here have been overstocked- with
peaches all the past week. The estimate OF
receipts for the week varies from 20 to loo
carloads With a daily average of IL to 10
carloads of peaches received in this marker,
the tendency of prices has been steadlly
downward. Tropical fruits are exceedingly
dull, by reason of the immense receipts OF
domestic fruit. Choice dairy products are
firmly held at the advance already noted.
Supply of good creamery butter is scarcely
up to demand and the advance OF &c. per
per pound since the beginning of the week Is
more than maintained. Vegetables OF all
kinds are slow and dull with the one ex-
ception of potatoes, which have improved
in quality and advanced in price the past
week.
