THURSDAY, sept. lO,
COUNTRY PRoDUCE-(Jobb prices):
Under the influence of cool weather nearby
creamery butter is coming to our markets in
larger quantity and better shape. Choice
Elgin creamery Is scarce and firm at quota
tions. There. is steady demand for both
New York and Ohio cheese, and prospects
are for an advance at an early day. Re-
ceipts of peaches were not so large on
Thursday as Wednesday. Total receipts
for the two days were close to 80 carloads.
All good stock moved freely at prices quoted,
while inferior stock, which is coming to the
front in larger quantity OF late, is in poor re-
quest. There is little life to trade as regards
other fruits and melons. Vegetables are
dull and slow all along the line, and are
likely to continue so until the fruit crop be-
gins to wane. Our quotations on potatoes
are reduced. Sweet potatoes are poor stock
at prices quoted.
