COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-
Peaches are coming to the front in such
large quantities that all other fruits are
forced to the background. Close to so car
loads have been received this week, and de-
mand is active for all that come Melons,
apples and tropical fruits have little show,
and will have until the peach crop is worked
of. Vegetables of all kinds are reported
dull and slow, with the exception of pota-
toes, which are firm for choice stock. Sweet
potatoes are in light request. Cabbage,
cucumbers, eggplant and, in fact, all garden
products are very dull at prices below any
thing of recent years. Dairy products are
firm and outside quotations for choice
creamery butter prevail. Some dealers re-
port sales OF fancy creamery at 28c per
pound Cheese is firm and promises to adj
vance at an early day. Eggs are quiet at
prices quoted.
