COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-
1t is many year since vegetables sold as
low as they are selling right now. Cabbage
scarcely went below 81 per bushel basket any
time last season. Now it is very dull at 25c
per basket. Tomatoes are weak at about
one-half the prices which prevailed at the
beginning of the month. Only the choicest
garden stuff can be sold at all in the present
overstocked condition of markets. Fruit
and Vegetable Inspector Kilgore yesterday
condemned 400 watermelors to the garbage
pile. Bananas are very poor stock on ac-
count of the heavy receipts and low prices
of peaches. A carload of bananas was sold
on track yesterday for $50, a sum little more
Creamery cry butter Of high grade Is in very
light supply in this market, and prices are
firm at the sharp advance already noted.
Eggs are still quiet.
