OFFICE OF PITTsBURs DISPATCH,
TUESDAY, June 30.

COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-Con-
trary to general expectations, choice cream
cry butter is a shade higher this week than
last. At the Monday sales at Elgln markets
were firm at &c advance on last week, wnen
markets were weak Demand for country
butter IS improved this week, fact which Is
probably due to the extensive cake baking
for Fourth of July. Eggs are moving freely,
and outside quotations obtain for strictly
fresh stock. Berries and melons are coming
in in quantities beyond the capacity of our
market to absorb, and prices are tending
downward. Commission houses were over
stocked with raspberries this morning, and
prospects at noon were that there would be
some unloading ut a sacrifice to the shipper
Home grown raspberries are now to the
front. One commission firm reported re-
ceipts and sales of 100 crates of home grown
raspberries this morning. Southern potatoes
are plenty and lower. WatermelonS abound,
and the outlook Is for lower prices In the
next few days
