OFFICE OF PTTTsBURG DISPATCH,
WEDNESDAY, July l.
| COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-The
| supply of raspberries and cherries was large
to-day, while demand was light. Pe,.ches
from the Chesapeake and the Pacific are
coming in freely. Quality of peaches arriv-
ing from Maryland is inferior and movement
is slow. California peaches and apricots are
of delicious quality and in active demand.
As predicted in this column a week ago,
bananas are scarce and the loo1ed-for ad-
vance is here, as our quotations will dis
close. From present outlook there will
hardly be enough bananas to go around this
week. Poultry is scarce and firm, and good
young chickens are shade higher. Strictly
fresh eggs are firm at quotations. There is
an improved tone to markets for choice
dairy products since the beginning of the
week.
