During the week dried fruit has
declined fully ! cent, with a prospect
of still further decline. The crop of
apples is very large this year as
whole in the United States, and as it
will take months to determine the
quantity that will be dried, dealers
are unwilling to buy until the con-
sumptive demand begins, except
sparingly at very low prices. OF
course we nor any one else can tell
what the price will be three months
hence. 1t will necessarily be low,
but just how low is the important
question. We will not advise any
one to hold or sell. They must de-
termine for themselves. We will
venture to say we think it is not safe
to hold the early summer dried APP
pies. They are generally dark and
inferior, and liable to become wormy,
and when the bright fall and winter
fruit comes into market, the inferior
quality will most likely be neglected.
A reliable country merchant has just
returned from Nashville, where he
sold several thousand pounds of ap'
pies and peaches. After trying all
the buyers 8 cents for both apples
and blackberries delivered at Nash
vile, was all he could get, and he
sold for that. Less than a week age
they were worth 81 to 81 in the same
market. According to Western mar,
kets 3 cents is all Nashville can safely
pay at present, and q to q all
it is safe to pay here. They are
more likely to go lower than higher
within the next 80 days.
Eggs are holding up well consider
ing the hot weather. They are ir
good demand at quotations. Poultry
rules very dull in all the markets
Common country butter can hardly
be sold at any price. The wheat
market has advanced on account o
short crops in foreign countries. i
is worth $1.00 in Nashville and W.
believe the same in McMinnville.
