COUNTRY PRODUCE-Jobbing Prices
The sharp frosts of the past few nights
have checked the great rush of grapes to
our markets, and prices are firm. 1t is esti-
mated that 800 carloads of grapes in the
vineyards of Chautauqus county, New
York, came to an untimely end by reason
of this weeks frosts All garden stuff is
on the advance since the arrival of the cold
wave. Tomatoes have trebled in value the
past week. Creamery butter of high grade
is in very short supply. Our jobbers report
that it is impossible to secure one-half the
amount necessary for their trade. The
shrinkage of milk from the effects of Sep
TENDERS drought is estimated from 80 to 70
per cent. Potatoes are coming in more
freely of late, and prices are barely steady.
Bananas have been in light supply this
week, and demand has also been light.

Groceries.
The weakness of coffee markets noted in
this column for week past has eliminated
in another drop, as our quotations will dis
close Sugars are quiet and syrups are lower.
The movement of general groceries is slow.
