COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-
Receipts of fruit were light to-day, and de-
mand was ditto Peaches are approaching
the end of their career for this season, but
the few offered are slow, for the reason that
consumers laid in bountifully when there
was plenty at low prices. Grapes are mov-
ing freely, and good stock readily brings
outside quotations. In tropical fruit lines
we note scarcity of lemons and tendency
toward higher prices. Oranges and bananas
also show firmness of late. Dairy products
are steady and unchanged in price. Sweet
potatoes are heavy stock, and drift of mar
kets is toward a lower level. Irish potatoes
are not SO freely offered as they have been
for q month past. and our markets are al
most bare in this line. There are, however,
plenty in the land, and q few days will, with
out doubt, bring sufflciency to our mar
kets.
