COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing prices
Receipts of farm and garden products con-
tinue to exceed demand, and markets are
weak and slow. Vegetables of all kinds are
a drug, and all under the choicest are nomi-
nal i'll price. The daily receipts of grapes
for the week have been about ten carloads,
and the capacity of our markets has not
been equal thereto The top price of Con-
cords is now 1sc per basket. The run of
peaches has been on the decline of late, and
choice stock is firm at outside quotations.
Cling peaches, for some unknown reason,
have been in unusually scant supply all this
season. Supply of creamery butter Is in ex-
cess of demand and markets are slow. There
is q scarcity of scrictly fresh eggs and prices
are a shade higher.
