FRIDAY. Aug. %.


COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-
Dairy products are firm all along the line,
and an early advance in prices is probable.
There is scarcity of choice brands of
creamery butter, not only here, but at all
trade centers of the country, and next week
will almost certainly bring higher prices.
Cheese also is looking up. Eggs, too, have
Joined in the forward movement under the
influence of cooler weather, and our quota
tions are advanced a shade in accordance
with the facts. In fruit lines peaches still
have the lead. There were close to 20 car
loads of peaches on sale to-day, and demand
was active for all offered. ALI other fruits
go slow, and will probably continue to do so
until the peach crop is worked of. Supply
of vegetables continues in excess of demand,
and price of tomatoes cabbage, cucumbers
and eggplants is merely nominal of late.
Potatoes alone in vegetable lines are firm at
quotations.
